While stops (and stations, too) can be observed (PT vehicles stop there), they aren't physical objects. Physical objects are platforms, poles, shelters or road markings. They can usually be found at a stop or station, but don't have to. > 2) Why to they need to be "mapped on the same area"? They are separate > entities.

And if there is a real platform, it is the waiting area of the stop.
