<div dir="auto">I agree with Martin.

just because the bus shows the name of the destination it doesn’t mean this is the “name of the bus”. It remains the destination. And just because the number and destination are the most useful piece of information when boarding a bus, it doesn’t mean that it is also the most useful information for a list or a map (origin is not important on the go, but it is for an “inventory”)<br>
