That's exactly what I said before the discussion went off on a tangent of 'route hinting'. A proposal for this already exists: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Route_Segments which I tried to apply to this relation: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2336780 Unfortunately it's not rendered, otherwise I'd applied it to all bus routes I maintain. It's true it does add a little bit of complexity when working with those route relations and it's not immediately apparent anymore whether a route is continuous. It has a lot of other advantages though, like maintainability. Instead of changing 60 relations when something changes, now only 2 need to be changed (One in each direction). For some very busy stretches of asphalt I'd create a relation from stop_position to stop_position. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.87998&lon=4.7045&zoom=17&layers=T For others the 'segment' could span several stops for common parts between routes. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.86633&lon=4.73224&zoom=16&layers=T Polyglot
