How we check things

Official sources first

We begin with municipal sites, transport operators and regional authorities.

Every figure dated

Every number or rule shows the date we last verified it.

Nobody pays to be listed

No paid placements. The few affiliate links we carry are marked where they appear and never decide what we recommend.
