>From what I gathered during this discussion, roundtrip is mostly understood and used wrongly by mappers.
It's also not something about the route, but rather about a passenger who buys a ticket to come back the same way the same day/weekend and paying the return fare on the same ticket (aller/retour - heen- en terug). So I went and downloaded all objects tagged with roundtrip. The one I changed needed major clean up in its members anyway. So how do we get from a meaningless tag (roundtrip) to something that actually has meaning for itineraries? I think that on the one hand we need a tag to describe what the user can expect (get back to approximate initial position) and on the other hand it would be nice (for validation purposes) to know if the ways in the relation are supposed to form a closed loop. hence: circular_route=yes closed_loop=no for that particular bus route.
