Research confidence

50%

Strong closed mapped candidate after attributed Peck/Market correction; retraced streets make one global direction label unhelpful.

A weighted assessment of the research supporting this unverified route reference. It is not a probability that a bus runs today, a service guarantee, or a measure of timetable accuracy.

Why this score?

Historical source clarity10 / 20
The source explicitly returns to its starting junction, but a material printed Mackey passage requires an attributed Market correction.
Mapped extent completeness20 / 20
The corrected candidate represents the principal complete circuit; exact passenger terminal use remains a field question.
Geometry consistency20 / 20
The reference has one connected part, no recorded sequence breaks or local direction conflicts, and a closed source-order traversal witness. Repeated streets do not require one global direction label.
Recent direct field evidence0 / 20
No completed, reviewed ride record for this route is attached to the research baseline. Historical descriptions, map edits and unreviewed reports do not establish a currently observed full journey.
Independent field corroboration0 / 20
No accepted independent check corroborates a dated route-specific field record in this baseline. Reuse of the historical official description is not independent observation.

What still needs checking

Preserve the original Mackey wording separately from the proposed Market correction and its evidence; do not silently revise the official source.
Retain D02 and the following Market / Lewis section as an attributed OSM interpretation, not an independently verified bus movement.
Check full route order, permitted turns and the exact East / Soldier passenger boarding/turnaround movements.
Confirm which dated source pattern reflects actual operation before offering journey directions.
