[talk-au] Naming Bus Stops for interchanges in Sydney

[Michael Collinson]

In Sweden, I have seen the "F" going into the ref tag. Just a thought, I 
don't recall how it affects rendering in common schemes. Con: Clash with 
a more rigorous ref num giving by the transport authority, "40459" or 
such. Another (complementary) practice is to put just "F" as the name - 
which has the secondary benefit of being more likely to render out in a 
crowded space. The other detail perhaps being better suited to the 
corresponding bus_station node/area/relation.

Else, +1 from me, the proposal seems useful to me as a smart refinement 
of local practice.
