Comment from daniel_solow
Hi Tyler,
I know I am not the only user on OpenStreetMap to notice that you swap names of the intersection with the route_ref value. Can you you please share what you are intending to do? According to overpass.turbo I have mapped 3818 bus stops in NYC and 1440 in Nassau. Are you planning to changing them all to their bus routes like Q1 or N4? My understanding from the OSM wiki page is that we are discouraged from mapping for a particular rendering programs and instead mapping the intersections as that makes them easier to search and unique enough to place them in bus route relations.

Hi Daniel
I’m changing the “bus stop” feature which is rendered on almost all OSM maps that display bus stops. Bus stops are not referred to by unique names the way a train stop might. They are referred to by which bus stops there. That way the name that renders on all maps that show bus stops, maps to the blue signs you see at every stop.The name of the intersection, which boldly displays on the standard web rendition, is redundant information you already have from the map.
BUT
That is not the same as the “Bus Stopping Location” feature which binds to the street itself. That is not rendered anywhere I’ve ever seen and can supply a searchable intersection name, network route numbers and, most importantly, the unique stop id which you can find at https://bustime.mta.info/. That unique id has a lat long associated with it so it would be interesting to see if it can be imported from NYC.The first feature serves the map use, the feature second serves the mappers.
Let me know if that makes sense
