In my own city we have an electric train like bus that has a few stops and is specifically meant for tourists. Not double decker with an open roof and it's slow, but OK. It has an itinerary and dedicated hop on/hop off stops. I would like to be able to map it.
I would also like to be able to map the stops/waiting areas of those long distance bus lines. At the moment, I was simply using highway=bus_stop for them and an approximate itinerary.
