Assement of Anylysis- Only one source potentially satisfies the requirements of being significant coverage in an independent secondary source. Timetables and maps are evidence that the bus route exists but are not considered significant coverage for the purposes of establishing notability. Based on the above the draft clearly does not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for notability. Dan arndt (talk) 04:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
