I have been mapping some bus stops, and I used "ref" for the stop number, not the route number. I usually added the route numbers of that stop in the "notes" tag, but by looking at http://openptmap.org/ I see there's an example in Montreal, on rue du Parc, and it uses a relation for the bus route:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Relation:route It seems you can add individual points as well as ways to the route, but I don't know how it would render the points. I would try creating the route with the route number as an attribute, then add the bus stops with ref=<stop number> to the relation. The openptmap is updated every day, so I'd say try it and let us know how it goes :) 2012/7/6 Fabian Rodriguez <magic...@member.fsf.org> > Hi, > > It's been a while since I've edited maps directly, I am still using > Potlatch 1 as I am more familiar with it. > > Could someone in Montreal check my edits and advise accordingly? > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/12130831 > > I am particularly interested in the bus stop.
