[Imports] Bus stop import in Raleigh area of North Carolina, USA

[Jo]

Or you can give the routing helper from JOSM's PT_Assistant plugin a try.
It splits the ways automatically. The user still needs to indicate where
the buses turn though. It's not fully automated.

What I do, before using the routing helper, is to create route relations
which contain all the stops in the correct order. What you need to do
yourself, is add the first and the last way adjacent to a stop. It does
help to add a few in the middle of the itinerary as well.
