I'm on a crusade to add all of the bus routes in my city (hopefully all of my country in a future), but there is no easily way as to "draw line here/add a node here as bus stop, tag as bus route X, rinse and repeat" as far as I know right?.

Would love some recommendations from other pros at OSM :)

Your bus' route isn't on their website?

Where I live, we have a map of the entire public transit.

We don't have a website for that in my country (at least, not officialy supported). Bus routes are usually learned by memory/asked to strangers or relatives. That's why I want to add it to osm.

That's a very good idea. My home town is using a janky list of nodes in a Google My Maps and it's so frustrating to use. I added the routes to OSM and they updated their website to reference my work.
