Thanks for the feedback. I now realise that the easily accessible data from Transport NSW is NOT licensed under Creative Commons and I would need assistance to access the licensed data. Andrew, thanks for the offer to assist in accessing the data. However, on reflection, I don't think it should be a priority. The Transport NSW website https://transportnsw.info/routes/bus shows the most useful information , route by route, superimposed on the OSM map. For the time being, this is probably adequate for most users rather than refer to OSM's transport map layer.
So, at this stage, I will leave it to others, with more knowledge and skills, to progress use of this data when time permits. Thanks again for the feedback and offer of assistance.
