Please ignore the original oxomoa scheme when tagging bus routes. There
is a reason the scheme sits in someones private wiki-space: It was the
first step in a long process that ended here [1].

Significant parts of the oxomoa scheme ended up in the final proposal,
but parts of it didn't (like the incredibly insane type=line in stead of
type=route).

In the central part of The Netherlands the name of the concession used
to be put in the network tag of the relation. I just noticed someone
didn't understand "relations are not categories" and created a
type=public_transport + public_transport=network relation to group the
lines of the concession "BRU stad".

Overlapping concessions are not a problem for either the network tag or
the network relation, as neither relies on a contiguous geographic area.
