<br>It seems you can add individual points as well as ways to the route, but I don't know how it would render the points. I would try creating the route with the route number as an attribute, then add the bus stops with ref=<stop number> to the relation.</div>

<br>
It's been a while since I've edited maps directly, I am still using<br>
Potlatch 1 as I am more familiar with it.<br>
<br>
Could someone in Montreal check my edits and advise accordingly?<br>
<br>

<br>
I am particularly interested in the bus stop. The documentation at the<br>
OpenStreetMap wiki[1] indicates that the bus rout # should be in ref=XX,<br>
but our bus stops also have a unique identifier to get schedules, etc.<br>
and I see those identifiers in ref=XXXXX in other tags nearby. Which<br>
should I use? There are also new tags that are recommended (ie.<br>
bus=yes). Should I put both older and newer recommended tags?<br>
<br>

Thanks for any help.<br>
