The public_transport=stop_position is a node of the highway itself. What I consider to be where the stop is, is always a node that is not connected and to one side of the highway. When possible, I use the center of the B of the word B U S written on the asphalt. Failing that one corner of the shelter, which can also often be drawn from aerial imagery, since most of them have white roofs. When there is just a pole and no markings on the asphalt, nor a shelter, I mark the public_transport=platform there. In that case I make many more pictures while surveying them, including of the house numbers around them.
>From now on I'll go back to what I've been doing for the last few years and mark them with highway=bus_stop once again. When, some distant day in the future, public_transport=platform is taken into account and rendered, I'll start converting them when I touch them to change other tags, which is what I thought I could start doing now, since it's been 1,5 years since the proposal passed the vote. I'll just go back to what I'm good at: be patient. I wanted to do it now, as I had planned to revise all the ones already entered into OSM. Partly automated with a Python script I wrote to check cycle and walking node routes for continuity, that could be easily adapted for the purpose. Cheers, Polyglot 2012/11/18 John F.
