This is a core problem with the public_transport=* scheme as well. This 
tag in and of itself is fine, but the whole additional shebang that is 
train=yes/no, bus=yes/no, subway=yes/no, etc etc is so dreadful (in the 
context of the rendering chain) that every time I read #2798 I feel the 
urge to run away screaming.
