Allow selecting linear bus platforms

[Dimitar5555]

It is impossible to select linear bus platforms (public_transport=platform + bus=yes but without highway=bus_stop).

The example above does not work anymore since that stop was moved.

I've also found a way to force platforms to appear - they need to have highway=platform. I'm not sure if that's intended or not.

Yes it is intended, here are the overpass rules:

        f'node[highway=bus_stop][public_transport=platform]({bb});'
        f'out tags center qt;'
        f'nwr[highway=platform][public_transport=platform]({bb});'
        f'out tags center qt;'
        f'node[public_transport=stop_position]({bb});'
        f'out tags center qt;'

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbus_stop highway=bus_stop is only supported on nodes

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:public_transport=platform suggests highway=platform or highway=footway. I suppose the footway support is missing.

Or just public_transport=platform + bus=yes without highway=platform? After all, public_transport=platform is used on >3 million elements (of which ~365k are linear or areas) while highway=platform has 160k uses and it interferes with any footway that might be a platform.
