Scores describe network access and published operating evidence, not a guarantee of safety, punctuality, availability, or service quality. Unknown facts are excluded rather than estimated.

Transparent scoring

How the score was calculated

Each evidence score is multiplied by its weight. When a fact is unavailable, the calculation uses a neutral 50/100 so incomplete profiles are neither rewarded nor punished.
