After adding lots of bus routes (literally hundreds) and trying the
different options, a mapper colleague in my area told me that the best way
would be to use distinct relations for both directions and eventually
combine them in a third relation. He used combined relations before but now
has converted all of them to the new scheme.

Here's an example:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1693164

Masterrelation to tie them together:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2208235

If you use backward and forward roles the situation becomes rather opaque
and much more difficult to spot errors.

Cheers,
Martin
