A bus station consists of several bus stops, usually allowing people to travel in many different directions.
A highway=bus_stop would be a place on a particular bus route where the bus regularly stops to pick up / drop off passengers. An amenity=bus_station would usually be a terminus where many routes stop / start, and where you can change between routes, etc.
For the station there is also another tag: public_transport=station used to represent public transport stations. Some bus stations are generally not open to the public (eg. employee commuter stations in industrial areas). In such cases, do not add this tag. In other cases, adding both tags is appropriate.
For the platforms in a bus station see highway=platform.
