Oxomoa is suggesting bus stop on the way only for the most basic bus
stop (think of a bus stop on a crossing on the country side with just a
sign). If you have a more advanced bus stop with waiting positions for
passengers on both sides of the street you add a
public_transport=stop_position on the way *and* add a
public_transport=platform node/way on the location you are proposing
(e.g. "where they are"). This solution allows to fulfill the data
requirements of routers you described.

*ISSUE RAISED:
* map bus stops to their physical location, not a point on the
route/street
*
Present status: If I understand correctly, oxomoa suggests that the
bus stop data (name, unique number, etc.) be entered as properties of
a point on the route/street.
Problems :
* Lines often have stops that are quite far apart for each direction
* This prohibits proper routing (GPS + walking),
* this system is not very intuitive I find.
*Proposed change: bus stops to be mapped exactly to where they are,
and to be added to relations *
Result:
* better routing results e.g. one wants to find a correct way to the
bus stop, and not to the average point somewhere between two stops of
the same name in either direction.
* more intuitive system -> easier "learning curve" for new users.
Influence on possible future software solutions: minor. May require
all the stops on the route to be ordered based on their geographical
location, as opposed to their place on the route (the latter is easier).
Comments: I have seen this system very often implemented - two bus
stops on each side, so my suggestion is just to codify the situation
for future editors.
Hope this is not too much at once, for more is to follow.
