I've been using the public transport scheme with separate relations for 
each direction for quite a while. It's true it's a bit more work, but 
one of the advantages is that the confusing roles "forward" and 
"backward" are *not* necessary in that case.

And keeping in mind that the road network is growing in detail, i.e. 
mapping of double carriageways, at some point maybe even individual 
lanes, the benefit of the "simplicity" of single relations is always 
traded off against the downside of inner complexity.
