No. At least, the bus route relation brings some info that is not
available elsewhere: the ordered list of bus stops. But if you ask me
again, I would say that most of the ways added in this bus relation
are unnecessary and strongly disturb other mappers (like
over-segmenting highway ways). As suggested in the past, only the bus
stops and some key junctions would be enough. But that's another
discussion.
The result of moving all common tags in parent relations is that we
find ways belonging to 10, 15 or more relations... and sometimes for
identical routes since it is out of control.
