I think the type=* tag on relations is ugly, similar to the original
class=* tag proposed on every element in the early days of OSM.
class=* was dropped, as should type=* be.
I don't know too much about class=, but I can see an argument that
type= might be redundant on relations. However, given that it is in
such widespread use, I guess this is a bigger debate to have.
Right now, I'm more concerned about which of these patterns is better:
type=site
site=railway_station
or
type=site
railway=station
The first one has the advantage of following the X=Y, Y=Z tag
hierarchy convention, the second has the advantage of re-using tags
that have long been adopted for nodes.

Why not simply:
public_transport=stop_area_group
etc as proposed in Oxomoa's proposal?
Fixing the JOSM validator to allow "public_transport" instead of "type"
is an easy task.
