<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:osmc:symbol" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:osmc:symbol</a> comes to my mind in this context.<br>
Do you have an example where this is actually necessary?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Theoretically this could apply. For example in my old reference regarding transit tagging, my 1990s example of the 58X Sunset Highway and 57 Forest Grove routes could have been further subdivided into network=deer, and colour=orange, as TriMet formerly divided its bus network into six or seven "sectors", despite the routes all being uniquely numbered in the system at the time. For the sake of being able to publish a pocket schedule, extremely long routes that ran contiguously with the same number were sometimes split.</div><div><br></div><div>Like the "purple rain" 12 Sandy Boulevard and the "orange deer" 12 King City was a single contiguous route in the 1990s, which is now just the 12 Barbur/Sandy Boulevards route, largely following the 1990s "sector split" route, and even in the sectors era, still worked as a single route in trimet's trip planning kiosks. However, on the printed schedules and headsigns, the two were distinct routes, and if the Trimet 12 still ran that way, I'd definitely map the eastbound as to=Portland and to=Portland International Airport, and the westbound as to=Portland and to=King City as four distinct routes now, with the appropriate network and colour tags. Now it's not necessary mostly because Trimet dropped the sector system and started operating its entire district as a cohesive network, which had the knock-on effect of making the two 12 routes a single 12 route on rider schedules.</div></div></div>
