Is it necessary to create a bus route ,both forward way and reverse ways to be marked separate and made as member in route master ?

Well, one relation is better than no relation, but as soon as you start adding stops and platforms you have to create two separate relations because they differ by direction. Also if there a oneway streets you cannot do this properly with a single relation.

In JOSM it is easy to duplicate a relation and reverse the member order. From there it is not much effort to finish the second relation and add it to the route master.

If you want to edit bus or tram relations PTv2 in easy way try this service: https://relatify.monicz.dev

There are some disadvantages:

  • You have to create missing relation in other software (JOSM, iD) - relatify can only edit existing relations. Try to add to new relation at least first and last highways and platforms.
  • Missing platforms you have to add in other software too.
  • Try to wait few minutes between editing another or the same relation in relatify - new data have to propagate to server - 4 minutes between edits is rather enough.

If you respect limitation above, than you probably will have fun with PT relations updating!
