it is not clear if the new way is actually better, at least the current data stats show that mappers still prefer the "old" method, at least for bus stops, as it is simpler (you need just one tag highway=bus_stop instead of two: public_transport=platform and bus=yes, for the same information content), and the new style cannot be rendered on the main map, because of the lack of the bus-key (the rendering db only "knows" that there is some kind of stop, but it cannot determine if it is a tram stop, a bus stop or whatelse). I wouldn't "re-tag", ie. won't remove tags, but you can add the public_transport=* tags if you want to support also this scheme. cheers, Martin
