Stations requiring additional attention[edit]

Changes to Template:MBTA bus links/data will automatically update the list of routes, count of routes, and current map citation for all articles that use this template and its subtemplates. While this is all the change that most articles will need, some will need additional attention:

Any stations where all bus service was eliminated
Any stations that did not previously have bus service but now do
Any stations that went from 1 to 2+ routes, or vice versa, as the pluralization of route(s) will be adjusted.

Some stations also have information about particular routes, stops, or service history in the prose, and may need to be updated:

Alewife: changes to 83, or any other routes not using the busway
Davis: changes to inbound routes not using the busway
Harvard: changes to stops
Park Street: changes to 43 and SL5 stops
Downtown Crossing: changes to stop locations
South Station: changes to stop locations
North Quincy: changes to stop location
