It is not the question of grade but it is related to turn diameter and
obstacles and emission regulation and such on different roads, and they
differ according to specific bus models used by each routes.

In PTv2 one can simply select all the ways and then add them into relation,
unlike this proposal where I woild need to try and see where I needs to add
waypoint, and identify if there are any way that can be rendered
differently on different renderer despite it might coincidentally appear as
expected on editor's software.

1. Yes, the chance of route changes are very low, and that's why I ask how
to fixate a route against such changes which would affect how routing
engines route a route.
2. As I have mentioned previously, my greatest use of PT mapping is the
geometry of the routes. So even if stops are the same that'd still affect
my intended use of those routes.

For example, routes like route E11 in Hong Kong which continues to
use Cheung Tsing Tunnel instead of Nam Wan Tunnel after the latter finish
construction.
