It seems rather pointless to tag an obvious a-b route with
roundtrip=no, or an abvious roundtrip with roundtrip=yes. </div>
<div>Why would you tag an a-b route as roundtrip=yes, or a
closed route as roundtrip=no?<br clear="all">

<br></span>
A route that is 'closed' can be a non round trip. <br>
For example the bus only does one circuit then goes on to another
route elsewhere. This can be done to provide services to both that
route and to other parts of the community with other routes. <br>
There may not be enough demand for a continuous circuit to be
viable. <br>
