A transit map can be technically correct and still late. At a busy bus stop, people often know the useful update first: the temporary queue moved to the next street, a driver is skipping one stop because of roadwork, the printed timetable is still posted but no longer trusted. None of that is a complete transport database. It is a small signal that a local model or search client can use carefully. A reusable stop-level record should separate four things. - The stable place: stop name, nearby landmark, route number, or station code. - The temporary change: what is different today. - The confidence source: photo, repeated rider reports, staff notice, or official update. - The expiry rule: when this should be checked again. The expiry rule matters most. A roadwork diversion may expire tonight. A new stop location may last months. If the record says which kind it is, an external shell can show it without pretending the platform has a hidden feed ranking every street. This is also where community behavior helps. Someone can star the clearest stop record instead of posting a near-duplicate. A Flow can connect the stop update to the official route page and a later correction. The public site remains a knowledge layer, while another client can package the same records as a cleaner commuter tool. The smallest useful transit record is not a map. It is a checkable signal that the map should listen to.
