Hi Kieron, I would recommend firstly using the OSM documentation and then existing bus routes as a template. J1 and J2 renders correctly but that is because of additional tags. We should map according to the wiki and accepted standards not to get it to render correctly.
Dawid, the intended usage of the routemaster tag in a relation is to tie together routes that typically follow the same roads but might go into opposite directions or as in London where we have a 381 bus and N381 bus which is the night bus and follows an abbreviated version of the day route. A relation that contains all of the Gautrain routes is arguably valid but I think stretches the intended usage a little bit. So where do you draw the line? You could then also have a relation that contained all of the bus routes in Gauteng or even the whole of South Africa, or a relation for all N and M highways. Regardless though consistency is going to be more important.
