[Tagging] Route relations - Forward & Backward

[Jo]

Uh oh. Some explanation is here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Public_Transport#Route

What I don't do, in the route relations is to add the stop_positions. I
don't even always add the stop_position nodes. Adding the stops themselves
(the independent nodes on either side of the way) is easy for us, as we
have access to the official data and I created some software scripts to
convert those to OSM data.

There is also this:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Bus_and_tram_lines

Now if it were me, I wouldn't add roles to stops either, except for those
which are only to let people off or on. But usually I add a platform role
anyway. Even though it's obvious that a node tagged with
public_transport=platform/highway=bus_stop is a platform and a way is part
of the route.
