Not sure which application you are using, but you can use the transport map layer of OSM and see all the bus stops. Every stop likely already has the tags for bus stop features.
As for Organic Maps, it’s optimized for driving/directions and doesn’t have the advanced features that more redines apps have. That said I love it and enjoy using it for directi9ns.
You can add a traffic layer from GMaps to OsmAnd+:

To be quite honest the routing issue you’re referring to is most likely related to invalid/outdated mapping data, as opposed to the routing algorithm the mapping engine uses to navigate.
The benefit of using OpenStreetMap data for routing is that if you spot a mistake or a route that is incorrectly mapped you can fix it yourself, or leave a note for mapping contributors to examine and resolve. You can also browse the mapping data history and see exactly who and when mapped this region and even contact them if you wish.
OSM supports much more mapping data via tagging, which translates to more accurate driving directions. To err is human, and OSM mappers make mistakes as well, but these can be easily fixed.

Thanks for the reply. I am new here, but here to stay. I want to share what I learn and help other folks as well.
This is such a useful post.
As a lemmy newbie, I see that there is a save functionality, but is there a way to tag posts like these so I can reference them in the future?
It’s an alternative, but provides no new functionality. The truth is while owned by Meta, Mapillary has the best street imagery coverage of all three street view platforms. I provided millions of images for all platform so far, but here’s some feedback.
If I had to rank them:
Fortunately all three platforms are integrated into iD, so editors have the option to use whatever works and has coverage for the area.
FYI: OsmAnd+ has the ability to record GPX tracks and upload them to OSM. This is incredibly useful for creating accurate maps and add just satellite imagery offsets. As a mapper, it would really if a hiking trail has some GPS data so that the nodes can be aligned and improve the accuracy of the map.
To err is human. Try to notice missing points of interest and add notes for things you’d like to have added to the map.
That’s a very good idea. My home town is using a janky list of nodes in a Google My Maps and it’s so frustrating to use. I added the routes to OSM and they updated their website to reference my work.
Great news! More integrations means more opportunities to improve the map. Thanks for sharing!
Hey there Coach, happy to see a fellow Ecosia user in the wild!
This map seems to be using Mapbox Streets for its’ style featuring vivid colors.
OSM has plenty of styles you can use. Here are some interesting ones that I found so far:
https://www.mapbox.com/gallery/
https://openmaptiles.org/styles/
https://maps.stamen.com/#watercolor/12/37.7706/-122.3782
Toner is my favorite of these, as well as Dark Matter for mapping in the dark.
Though using them depends if they are integrated using Mapbox as we are relying on the configuration of the applet to provide these styles.
I’m using GrapheneOS for added security and sandboxing, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution.
Look at the list of ways and nodes on the left panel. They edited some features on one side of the map, and without commiting the changes, started editing somewhere really far away. Then both changes ended in a single changeset which tries to border around the edited features.
I would do a node with the following tags:
amenity = cafe
amenity = bar
opening_hours:bar = Mo-Fr 19:00-02:00
opening_hours:cafe = Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00

Sure they don’t. Just be aware that if you’re using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:
