Thanks for pointing me to this page, it indeed has all the bus types I could think of, and some more. To be explicit, the link above has these values for the 'bus' key (current usage from taginfo in parentheses): express (97) / long_distance (70) / on_demand (102) / regular (299) / school (177) / shopping (2) / shuttle (4) / train_replacement (0) / urban (1202) With the exception of 'train_replacement', these are even used somewhat. In principle bus=express and bus=long_distance routes could be rendered also in lower zoom levels as coaches / intercity buses, but as was pointed out in this thread, express buses can also be found on local routes. A separate service=express tag would then be needed. When mapping a fast intercity bus service, the possible tag combinations would then be route=bus + bus=long_distance + service=express, or as I originally proposed, route=coach + service=express. It would be nice to get a consensus on this and eventually document these tags in the wiki. Any thoughts?
