Even still I find this a bit shortsighted. You never know if in the future there might be more than 4 billion bus lines and you run out of numbers.

Imagine if there's a very socialist world government that forces carpooling, so everyone's commute becomes a bus line.

Or if on-demand services count each route variation.
