This bus stop is tagged as

highway=bus_stop
public_transport=platform
bus=yes

public_transport=platform type takes precedence hence its translation string is displayed. However its a more generic tag used for places where passengers board public transport (be it a bus, or a tram, etc.).

highway=bus_stop is a more specific tag (as well as railway=platform, etc.), so it should be a "main" type for such POIs.

Somewhat related to #1166

Currently having all three tags
(btw OSM online editor adds all three if user wants to create a bus stop)

highway=bus_stop
public_transport=platform
bus=yes

doesn't make sense for OM as public_transport=platform is not used for anything AFAIK.
So we might consider to merge it into a more specific co-existing tag (e.g. into highway=bus_stop, railway=platform, railway=tram_stop, etc.) or maybe drop it altogether even.

How many public_transport=platform without any other specific tags?

OSM public transport has simple PTv1 scheme and complicated PTv2 scheme. public_transport is from PTv2. Sometimes they are mixed. In general, we can't replace public_transport with bus/tram _stop, I discussed it in some issue few months ago ..
