For a very long time I have been trying to adopt the public_transport scheme. After several years of asking it would be rendered on its own without the need for highway=bus_stop tags, I'm giving up on it and came to the conclusion that
highway=bus_stop on nodes next to the highway and highway=platform / railway=platform on dedicated OSM ways, where actual platforms exist works just fine. This has been discussed on the public transport list very recently, but as usual, without any resolution one way or the other. Status quo rules. It is disingenious of iD developers to muddy the waters further though.
