Community standards
Forum & sighting guidelines
Transit is built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. These standards keep the community high-quality, relevant and trustworthy. By posting a thread or logging a sighting you agree to follow them.
Forum guidelines
Applies to all threads and replies.
Stay on topic
Keep posts focused on public transport — operations, routes, fleets, sightings and infrastructure. Off-topic threads may be removed.
Be respectful
Debate ideas, not people. Personal attacks, harassment or discriminatory language is not tolerated.
No spam or self-promotion
Unsolicited promotion, repeated posts and commercial advertising will be removed.
Cite your sources
When sharing a claim, photo or spec, link the operator or a reputable reference so others can verify.
No misinformation
Deliberately fabricated or misleading content is removed and may cost posting privileges.
Moderator approval
All new threads are reviewed before going live. Rejected threads include a reason where possible.
Sighting standards
For logbook entries and verified sightings.
Accurate fleet numbers
Record the exact fleet or unit number visible on the vehicle — never guess or approximate.
Cross-reference the model
Confirm the model or class against an operator fleet list or a trusted source before submitting.
Real date and time
Log the actual sighting time. Back-dated or estimated entries undermine the logbook.
Helpful, honest photos
A photo strengthens a sighting, but only upload your own work — never pass off another spotter's image as yours.
Verification
Moderators cross-check sightings against public fleet data. Verified sightings count towards the leaderboard.
No fabrications
Invented sightings are removed. Repeat offences result in loss of sighting privileges.
Moderation
Volunteer moderators review every thread and verify sightings against public operator data. They can edit, hide or remove content that breaks these standards, and suspend repeat offenders.
