Data methodology

How transportation information is presented.

CheckingThings separates the source of a record, its freshness and business verification so users can understand what each signal means.

Source

Records are presented through the operator and administrator workflows supported by the application.

Freshness

Where available, fares carry update or effective-date information. A published fare is not described as real-time unless the underlying system supports that claim.

Verification

Business verification and fare freshness are separate signals and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a fare will remain unchanged.
