Description
Most bus-stops match almost perfectly between GoogleMaps and the latitude/longitude values provided by the MTA.
But in Roosevelt Island, there are quite a few stops that do not align, and it's unclear how the GoogleMaps stops align with the ones from the API.
Routes affected seem to be:
- Q102
- GoogleMaps mentions a route "Q372" but I do not see that in the MTA's route database, and I couldn't find other mentions of it online
More information is needed to determine the cause of the discrepancy, and which set of stops (GoogleMaps vs MTA API) is more correct in this case. I'm not sure if there will be an easy fix for this. It could be that the stops are misaligned for a clear reason, and there's a way to deterministically determine how to adjust their position. But that seems unlikely.
More information is needed to determine if other areas / routes are affected by these misalignment issues.
