At verification on September 28, 2026, 10,043 records linked 3,590 physical stop identifiers to 247 of the viewer’s 252 routes. Records join by route identifier and published direction; the same physical stop can occur on several routes. Stops exist for 493 of 504 paths: five routes and one additional direction have no matching records. Record dates range from August 1, 2018 to February 27, 2026; 6,882 records retain the 2018 date. Published numbering can continue between directions, skip or repeat: records are neither renumbered nor deduplicated. The source describes approximate positions derived from grouped CAD points. Those positions remain unchanged even where they differ from paths; there are no timetables, arrivals, verified accessibility or live vehicles. Queries cover the visible area and at most 500 records; select a route to review its stops. Dataset metadata declares CC BY-SA 4.0; its edit date does not replace individual record dates.
