Public Transport rendering
The very useful OePNV map has not updated in recent months, and it seems a real shame not to be able to make similar renders to this. There were also a few things which I missed on OePNV map: long distance bus routes rendered at lower zoom levels, stop area groups also. A bit of idle chit chat on IRC caused me to look at some of these issues. These are just notes of work in progress.

Stop Areas
These are shown in OePNV as a translucent yellow area, with rounded corners. The basic PostGIS to generate these polygons for bus stops as nodes is : ST_BUFFER(ST_CONVEXHULL(ST_COLLECT(n.geom)),10) .
Bus Routes
Basically very easy, can follow the existing layer-ferry-route.xml.inc in the default Mapnik 0.7 install & modify for buses.
Bus Route numbers
Not so easy, particularly from the osm2pgsql install which loses the relationship between this data & the way. A performant way to get it back requires availability of the relation_members table, and full tags on the osm2pgsql tables. There are various additional performance options to be explored too.
Types of Bus Routes
More exploration needed.
