I pretty much came the same way Dominik did. I am also a public
transport fanatic. And I like to map small details and it makes me joy
to when a bus route crossing a roundabout uses one half of the
roundabout in one direction and the other half in the other direction.
Till now I had the impression that openstreetmap follows the philosophy
"Everybody maps as detailed as he likes". And for enthusiasts it is not
only a question of efficency and costs but also of joy, and isn't it
because of enthusiasts that openstreetmap exist?

If not and if this detailed public transport mapping is not preferred
in osm please tell me, then I will find my joy somewhere else.
