IMHO the solution is simple. Name it after what you are mapping.
For vehicles:
The route the cyclist follows is route=bicycle.
The route bus 5 follows is route=bus.
The route tram 13 follows is route=tram.
The route the Eurostar follows is route=train.
For infrastructure:
The "route" of the M1 is route=road
The "route" that is made up of the rail tracks of the East Coast Mainline is
route=rail.
Deprecating route= and replacing it with line= for most things where we
currently use route= is a lot of work for no real gain.
