Relations are quite abundant already, the cycle routes are probably the most advanced by now. I've started the page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Bus_and_tram_lines for Belgian tram and bus lines to give the tags and thought about this tagging scheme for halts: (note that "terminus" is the word we use for the turning point of buses or trams, I don't know the proper English word) * Give one terminus a role in the relation like "terminus_1", the other terminus on the other side of the line is "terminus_2" * The halts along the way get roles like "halt_to_1" or "halt_to_2" depending on which terminus they go to * Halts in both directions just get a "halt" role Obviously, it's not perfect yet, I guess somewhere in the world there will be some circular lines for example, with no terminus. Anyway, just brainstorming here to finally come up with a proper solution. Anyone with other ideas?
