I been adding the bus stop names for omnitrans in the san bernardino valley. I noticed that omnitrans names bus stops as so, "Sierra @baseline SB FS". The FS stands for farside station. But some bus stops have the farside station indicator, when they are located nearside. should I change it to just Sierra @ Baseline southbound Farside, or Sierra @ Baseline southbound Farside Station. Or should I just leave the bus stops as Sierra @ Baseline Southbound and only add the farside/nearside indicator when there are stops on both sides of the cross street? I just don't see how adding farside/nearside station would be useful with most stops. Guidance would be appreciated

What's the sign at the stop say? That's your name. Be aware that in the US, it's very unusual for most stops to get named if it's not a BRT or rail system outside of maybe major stops and bus stations. The usual case in the US is only to number stops, which goes in ref=*

If you're pulling names from the GTFS, you're doing it wrong. Use the ground truth.
