Dear all, How should I fill in the ref=* tag for public transport routes with multiple reference numbers, in each of the following cases?
1. There is a service identified by three different numbers, while in fact the three numbers belong to the same service with completely no differences. This is the case with minibus routes 52A/54A/56A in New Territories, where two operators jointly dispatch minibuses onto these routes, sometimes with number 52A, sometimes with 54A, and sometimes with 56A. However, they are identical services. Is using semicolon in the ref=* tag a good idea? 2. There is a service identified by two different numbers, where the two numbers are always used simultaneously. This is the case with Shenzhen bus routes M215-M218, where both numbers are always displayed side-by-side in bus stops and on the number plates of the buses. They are almost never used individually. 3. There is a service, due to operational reasons, identified by two different numbers. However, the two different numbers are used in different segment of the service, but in fact, they belongs to the same service (i.e. passengers can get a ticket and board the vehicle on the segment with the first number, and alight at the end of the segment with the second number without intermediate alighting or additional payment). This is the case with train route Z806/Z803 from Zhaoqing to Kowloon, where the number Z806 is used on the segment from Zhaoqing to Guangzhou, and Z803 is used on the segment from Guangzhou to Kowloon (i.e. it can be treated as a through service).
