Hi Peter,
I noticed the same thing in parts of Sydney (people creating new ways for a bus
route). You are right the bus route probably should be set up as a relation,
comprising of existing ways so maybe contact the user who created them and ask
if they object to you improving on their input by making it compliant with this
-

Last year I did some work in Forster NSW with bus stops, routes, and route
master relations on existing ways based upon that document. End result here -

Note the Transport layer on osm.org ignores any defined route colours. All bus
routes are simply rendered as red.
Looking forward to getting back up there again soon and checking out the
progress on the new Gold Coast light rail project.

Hi everyone,
I have been doing editing in the Surfers Paradise area and I have noticed
that the north bound lane of the Gold Coast Hwy has 2 Ways both tagged
Primary, 1 has a relation Gold Coast Highway attached but no roles defined!
the other has bus route tags also. My understanding is that bus routes should
be set up as a route relation for each bus route using existing ways not
making new ways. Both of these ways have had many edits from many different
people.
