I have only one complain about OSM in general, why can't I browse the bus lines a specific bus stop offers?? I can check if it has a fucking bench but can't inspect the bus lines.
There might be some website that offers that functionality using OSM data.
One thing that we need to understand is that OSM is data. Loads of it. The ways of displaying and searching for that data are up to each website and app that uses OSM data: first the data has to be added to OSM, then someone has to develop a tool to easily view it.
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.
OsmAnd has "public transport" option it shows you all the routes abd stops and you can choose specific one. It is great.
