Maybe my "t" could be replaced with "h10" for 10 trips every hour or "d40"
for 40  trips every day.

I must admit I don't know much about getting renderers to work, but summing
frequencies of all bus lines on each way seems to be enough for now. And if
you draw bus routes with colours ranging from blue (rare route) to red
(busy route) it should be pretty obvious where you need to go if you want
to get on a bus quickly. And for lines that aren't active on all days you
can add a dashed line (which is visible only if it is the only route on the
road).
