When standing in front of a bus stop, it's easy to see which bus lines are served by it. I add this information to<br><br>route_ref<br><br>This enables me to check later on when trying to add the stop to the proper route relations.<br>
<br>In the mean time I have a database file with all the bus stops in the region and which buses pass by at what time . The script which creates an OSM file based upon this also populates route_ref.<br><br>It is then very easy to find all stops served by a given line:<br>

<br>
We have had an informal convention for a long time to use a semicolon<br>
(;) in tag values to separate multiple values, for instance<br>
"ref=I 70; US 40" to denote that there are two numbered roads on a way.<br>
But most software out there doesn't actually interpret this in any<br>
special way.<br>
<br>
If you know of any software that actually does interpret this specially,<br>
please tell me. I am trying to get an idea where and how this is used in<br>
the real world. You can answer here on the list or write to me<br>
privately, I'll summarize for the list later. Thanks!<br>
