Research confidence
30%
Distinct variant, not a reversed 5; subdivision closure and direction/order repairs remain.
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 variant is distinguishable from 5, but its subdivision streets and the Soldier-to-Robinson transition remain incomplete.
- Mapped extent completeness10 / 20
The main corridors are represented; complete Kennedy coverage and its final terminal movement are not established.
- Geometry consistency10 / 20
The map is connected, with one sequence break, four local direction conflicts and a degenerate transition; its direction and order remain unresolved.
- 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
- Kennedy entry, exit and exact terminal are not defined.
- Soldier-to-Robinson needs its actual connecting movement.
- Malcolm Road/Malcolm Road East extents and final subdivision movement need review.
