You are right the bus route probably should be set up as a relation, comprising of existing ways so maybe contact the user who created them and ask if they object to you improving on their input by making it compliant with this - </div><div><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; white-space: nowrap; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.292969); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; "><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_transport</a></span></div><div><br></div><div>Last year I did some work in Forster NSW with bus stops, routes, and route master relations on existing ways based upon that document.

My understanding is that bus routes should be set up as a route relation for each bus route using existing ways not making new ways. Both of these ways have had many edits from many different people.</div>
