I am not a bus spotter or a photter but why would I want to know what
route the 172 Bus takes? Other than from a route planning PoV so that
I don't get stuck behind them all the time.

I understand that people would like to put bus routes into OSM but
does it have to require the cutting up of roundabouts and junctions? I
would not go around cutting stuff up just so I can put in a route of
ice cream van.
