How can I easily map a bus route?
I'm on a crusade to add all of the bus routes in my city (hopefully all of my country in a future), but there is no easily way as to "draw line here/add a node here as bus stop, tag as bus route X, rinse and repeat" as far as I know right?.
Would love some recommendations from other pros at OSM :)

This is how I do it. First I add all the stops in order for one direction. Then I create a bus route relation and select the roads buses go on. I add them to the relation. I then do the other way around as another relation. Then I create a route master and add the two bus route relations to the route master.
@MistaJostur @notExactlyI20 IMO that's the best way right now. Once you've added all the stops, and in order to create the route, give Relatify a try. I've had good echoes about it
This is how I do it with iD and Relatify:
- Create all the bus stops in iD (that includes the bus stop sign location, and (importantly!) the bus stopping location on the road)
- Create a relation using iD using only the first two or three bus stops.
- Use Relatify to finish connecting the rest of the stops.
