I just walked part of a cycle route. In fact we walked three cycle routes at once. I would like to create a relation, type=route and then copy this to the two other relations containing the same ways. Or is there a smarter way to go about this? Could relations contain other relations?
I have the same problem with bus routes. They also tend to overlap quite a bit. Oh, I think for a bus route I actually tried another trick. Open route in JOSM, select all ways of it, then close and add those ways to a another route. The problem with that approach was that backward/forward information was lost, so I kind of gave up and hoped a later version of JOSM would help me out. As for the rendering. When and how are bus/tram routes going to be rendered? Could it be done as an overlay? I.e. not visible all the time. What happens when the routes overlap? Will only one be shown? Will they be shown side by side (my preference), like you see on those maps from the public transportation? I imagine trying to achieve that would be quite a challenge. I believe those maps are actually drawn with human intervention. The same questions apply to cycle and walking routes, but they are rendered already on Andy's map. I'll see what happens when two/three routes use the same ways there.
