How to keep one point feature and remove the near points efficiently for a large dataset

I am working with the public transport bus stops data which has multiple points for the same geographical location (for different service providers and inbound and outbound direction). I used the Near tool to locate the stops which are within 50m distance of each other. The total bus stops are more than 11,000. Is there a smart way to keep only one stop and delete the rest of the points instead of deleting the stops one by one?

Thank you!

If your points have an ID that identifies the stop/geographic location you can use Mean Center (Spatial Statistics) with the ID attribute as Case Field. Surely, there are other ways to do this as well but this what was I came up with first.

This only works if the co-located stops have the same ID
