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 :)

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.
