Grüezi!
I have edited in my area (Arth-Goldau, Schwyz) to integrate platforms into sidewalks so the sidewalk is continuous with a section of it being the bus platform at times. I may be totally wrong and I ask anyone to check my work here.
In my view the bus stops should often be a node in the road, since the bus is stopping there, and next to it is good for adding nodes like a sign, a shelter, bench, etc. I am not sure if platform refers to the literal painted area on the road where the bus stops or is a pedestrian area where people stand when waiting to board. If the latter, to me that is applicable to a train station, but not to most bus stations since the people stand on what is physically a sidewalk, most often.

Hi Marcel
highway=platform is often wrong for bus stops. Usually, the stop is integrated into the sidewalk. A platform should be connected to the road network, otherwise it's a routing island.
Unfortunately, there was a very opinionated mapper some time ago (no longer active), who really liked this messed up way of mapping. And generally, there is no clear consensus for public transport mapping unfortunately.
So feel free to improve it. In my opinion, best to replace the way with a node besides the road (except if it really is a highway=platform like the terminal at the train station, and not just a raised side walk). But that is just my opinion and not universally shared.
Cheers Michael

Hi,
Does it make sense to connect hw=platform/public_transport=platform to
the road network?
I started some footway mapping in Lucerne a couple of weeks ago and
encountered dozens of platforms which are not connected. I also found some CS which connected the rail platforms to the network.
How do we map bus platforms in Switzerland? On the kerb? On the
sidewalk? In the middle of the highways? Elsewhere?
Cheers, Marcel
