Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
agree  Jaime Hyland: A "haltepunkt" refers to what is often called in English a "stop post", i.e. a geographical point at which a bus stops, while a "Haltestelle" is a number of such points logically grouped together as a single stop for passenger information and operations.
