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 :)

This is how I do it with iD and Relatify:

Create all the bus stops in iD (that includes the bus stop sign location, and (importantly!) the bus stopping location on the road)
Create a relation using iD using only the first two or three bus stops.
Use Relatify to finish connecting the rest of the stops.
