Description

In addition to the simple [bus icon](https://github.com/mapbox/maki/blob/d1be28561edbe91bfd92c76344b483f674561a83/icons/bus-15.svg), would be useful to have one more to distinguish between a more important 'Bus Station' and a smaller 'Bus Stop' both of which have a large usage on OSM:

- Taginfo: [Bus Stop](https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=bus_stop) 2M+ | [Bus Station](https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=bus_station) 40k+

Bus stops usually have a high density and to avoid visual clutter would want something that is identifiable even in a small size.

Research direction

Start with the linked icons/bus-15.svg and review the referenced Bus Stop and Bus Station concepts. Define two visually distinct icons that remain identifiable at small sizes and avoid clutter in dense bus-stop displays; completion means the new icon assets clearly distinguish the two transport features.
