Your right. For me it has more usability to know "Where can I enter the bus" then to know "Where stops the bus on the street".
Sorry, but to me it looks like yet another "fun" thing to complicate the matter more than necessary. I use "platform" only where there is a terminus-like structure, that is where there is more than one bus stop.
Question: Can you take a picture. One for you map an node. And an other one for you map an "platform". Thanks.
