Oh well.. The 1st model has road points marked up; one node in the way per stop or pair of stops, representing the place on the highway where the bus, stops.
-----x-------x--------- The 2nd has a stop off the road, slightly, representing the pole or whatever, ie the actual bus-stop. x ---------------------------- x I think that (option 2) is correct as we are representing a real object. Some people think that it's a highway feature for routing purposes. It depends, IMHO, if you are mapping for bus companies to route their buses by (nah...) or everyone to find a bus stop (yeah..) There is an issue about working out which direction the bus is going, vs working out what road the stop is actually on. There was a recent argum^h^h^h discussion about this on Talk. BTW we seem to have slipped off list - sorry, my fault!
