More details in the graphics here:

The link you provided is a very good example of oxomoa's weakness.
While the first simple bus stop is clear, for two bus stops I must
"create a stop_area". How do you do that? (the example is not clear
enough) And more importantly, what for? Is the gain worth the extra
time, which is considerable?
Most of the time a relation for public_transport=stop_area is not
necessary e.g. if you have two crossing bus lines which have the same
name. In this case the router can easily determine that there's a
changing location.
But if you have more infrastructure like a taxi stand (See here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/152809 ) or a ferry
terminal it's sometimes necessary to create a stop_area. But no need to
worry: Don't do it if you think it's too much time. Eventually someone
else does it. In OSM you don't have to do everything yourself. And you
don't need to do the whole 1000km² yourself :)
Do you have a map link to the area you are mapping public transport
data? Maybe a complex example which took you time to tag?
