Research confidence
25%
Understandable loop; order, direction and Kennedy entrance/exit need work.
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
Broad round-trip intent is clear, but missing Kennedy subdivision paths leave a material part of the journey undefined.
- Mapped extent completeness10 / 20
The main corridors are present; the Kennedy entry, internal path and final terminal return have no established full extent.
- Geometry consistency5 / 20
One connected part does not resolve six sequence breaks, six local direction conflicts and a degenerate transition.
- 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
- The stated Kennedy/Malcolm terminal has no internal access streets.
- Cumberland-to-Bay and Frederick-to-Market are compressed.
- Return to Kennedy does not enumerate the final subdivision streets.
