How to tag "missing" `local_ref` on bus stops if they're the end of a line only, exit only

I’ve tagged all the other bus stops with their respective numbers, but that one is “just” an exit only, the signage says “HALT Nur bis hier. Endhaltestelle”, meaning it’s only the end of “some line”, no timetable, no other info on which line ends there. I know it’s a variant of the 125, another continues to Invalidensiedlung.

This stop shows up as do all others in renderings, but it isn’t clear it’s not one where passengers only exit. I suspect this is because there is no special rendering on any tipe layer or such?

How should/can I tag this?

Is there a special value for local_ref?
How do I tag that a/the missing local_ref is correct/on purpose and not missing/incomplete data?
This stop hasn’t gotten one on-the-ground. The stop isn’t usually mentioned on “official” maps either, for example S Frohnau: Haltestelleninfo | BVG has a PDF linked at the bottom, that also shows the numbers for the other stops, but this exit-only stop isn’t shown at all, not even with that purple half circle.

In route relation 125 (or a variant), add it as stop, it would be correct. Not sure it would change the rendering.

Yeah, the variant relation doesn’t exist.
The current (linked above) isn’t correct either, there’s a diversion caused by a gas pipe rupture and ongoing construction.

That aside, I don’t think a route relation ending at that stop would change it’s rendering. It could, but that relies on the assumption that if there are only routes ending at a stop, it’s “special” somehow. I wouldn’t make that assumption, I’d still want to know if the data is complete or not, which a route variant alone doesn’t tell on.

We have noname=yes, nohousenumber=yes and noref=yes.

So I would recommend nolocal_ref=yes in this case.

Makes sense, thank you.

I’ve added the tags nolocal_ref=yes.

And I came up with the (also) non-existent bus_stop:entry=no and bus_stop:exit=designated.
Where the values meaning is taken from the access-tag; entry onto a bus is not allowed, exit is allowed and signed as such.

As for bus route relations, we set roles stop_exit_only and platform_exit_only and in other contexts we already map =only I would recommend using this word instead of designated. But is it necessary? If the bus route is mapped (with the stop as last stop), the data is there.

Would it legally be allowed to let in passengers to entry a bus at this platform (for example if the regular stop is temporarily unaivailable)?
