[RFC] Feature Proposal - Add brt=yes/no to route=bus to mark BRT lines

On the other end of the spectrum, brt= or =brt is oversimplified, and too subjective. How to make those local judgements? Discarding those “certified as” reference standard makes it worse.
You will get complains and abuse from people trying to add that to what they see as being advertised as “BRT”. That won’t work nicely.
service= at least attempts to focus on the “service”, perhaps rather than being decided by the infrastructure. Although, this still has many possible meanings.
Fundamentally, a bus service could be high-quality and providing trunk service without being “BRT”. That’s what I suggest adding directly, the functional classification, not whether it’s some “BRT” concept. That would show significance and prominence accurately and reliably.
