Bus line edits
Just to clear up some stuff about the bus line edits:
Regarding the "average" lengths, I may have misinterpreted the meaning of the "Average Route Length" field in the TSPR while updating the ridership/lengths to 2023 data. I don't quite remember in what specific way I had interpreted it, but after rereading the description I do agree that changing most of them to using the GTFS data was probably unnecessary. I do remember making those changes after noticing that the "average route length" of the R5 as provided in the 2023 report (12.5 km) seems far shorter than the distance from SFU to Downtown, but it seems the length in the 2018 report remains accurate. (Though for R6 Scott Rd, the only source I could find for route length was in the GTFS data, since the 2024 TSPR is not out yet.)
For the 99 B-Line route lengths, I simply took the lengths from the GTFS data (specifically from shapes.txt). After some more inspection, I now realize the differing lengths in that file come from the fact that the distance travelled within bus exchanges is included in the westbound route but not the eastbound, so I suppose the difference doesn't exactly matter.
