Showing transit routes is harder than it seems. Currently rail routes and bus stops show up, but not bus routes. For that we need a separate rendering, much like the cyclemap pops out cycling features like bike lanes and bike routes, this new layer would pop out bus routes, bus stops, subway stops, etc. However, such a rendering does not exist yet. That doesn't mean you shouldn't map them. Go ahead and start mapping bus routes. I have started in Victoria. I create a relation with the ref as the bus number and then add the roads the bus travels along. I also add all the stops that the bus stops at. Is that the answer you were looking for?
