[Talk-transit] maintenance is very time consuming on public transport routes

The complexity of the current PT schema makes it close to impossible to
creat or maintain this kind of data in India, where bus transport systems
are a lot more complex, unstructured and dynamic.
I have found making bus frequency based renderings to be a lot more useful
here [1], where the only data point required is the relative importance of
a road in the bus route road network.
What I do is pretty simple, consider default bus frequency to be function
of highway classification ( trunk>primary>secondary ), tertiary and below
are ignored. I override the default highway value if there is a
public_transport tag.
So a road with highway=trunk and public_transport=no is a highway with no
bus service.
