I'm not very happy with the extensive use of relations. Especially nested relations strongly suggest that the level of complexity is beyond what's appropriate for a crowd-sourced project like OSM. The most prominent issue are stop area groups. The necessity of these has already been questioned. I, too, tend to think that determining them algorithmically would ultimately be a better choice. Removing the nested relations for stop area groups would eliminate one of the most complex concepts from the proposal, making it more accessible to mappers. Additionally, I suggest to reconsider the requirement to use stop area relations even in simple cases Many bus stops are very straightforward: They consist of usually two platforms with a common name. This name is usually unique within a range of several kilometres and, if tagged to the platform elements, could therefore be used instead of a relation to identify the components of the stop area.
