Common values are: "yes" 98% "no" 0,5% "designated" 0,5% "urban" 0,1% "unofficial" 0,1% I agree the values you propose can be interesting, especially long_distance, train_replacement (although this is generally a temporary thing for hyperactive high density mapping areas), school, urban, "shuttle" I wouldn't suburban, but would see them included in urban intercity is also somehow unclear, as cities might be very close together (i.e. it's kind of "urban") or very far away. "long_distance" seems less ambiguous (althoug it is also relative, maybe your list lacks some kind of "regional" which can be used both, in metropolitan and in rural areas for "medium" distance routes). On the other hand, while the distinction by function (school, train_replacement, shuttle, express) is not (clearly) inferrable from other properties, the distance travelled and the admin entities served can easily be gotten from looking at the actually route.
