Do something with stops that are in the same place #3

Harvard Lower Busway and Harvard Upper Busway are at exactly the same coordinates so it's impossible to click on one of them. Either we should separate them artificially, or merge them into the same list of arriving buses. Also there are pairs of stops, such as Amesbury St @ Vassar St in each direction on the CT2, that are close enough together that on a touchscreen it is a bit tiresome to zoom in enough to select the one you want.

For the lower-traffic stops, listing all nearby stops' upcoming arrivals at once could be nice. For bus hubs like Harvard, that probably isn't practical (although it would be nice if there were a way for a newbie who didn't know which stop to wait for the 66 at, say, to have their options hilighted for them in a more efficient way than tapping on all the nearby stops).
