These are editorial route explorations based on the MTA static GTFS snapshot, not rider interviews or findings about service quality. Diagrams show published route geometry and scheduled variants, with north at the top; each diagram has its own scale. They are not walking or navigation maps.
Live observations and nearby OpenStreetMap places are available in route profiles. Check their timestamps and coverage before drawing conclusions.
