I started this practise long ago before we had any properly working routing, I was than in the impression that they needed to be connected to the highway (if I remember correctly, the wiki page said something like "on thte road where the bus stops",) and I needed to destinguish between left and right side of the road
I have not done any remapping of the bus stops, maybe I should look back into at Aun Y.
