How we make them

Mapped

Every stop on one route map, in the order that saves you walking back.

Timed

A clock time for each stop, built from what published itineraries agree on, not from scratch.

Priced

Every price comes with the date we checked it. If we couldn't confirm it on an official page, we say so.
