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?

Best,
Teemu
