My nickname is a Cyrillic projection of a Greek: Βικιδημος portmanteau, something along the lines of Greek: Νικόδημος ("victorious people", cf. Nicodemus). It is intended to mean " wikipeople". If you have hard time finding Cyrillics on your keyboard, feel free to address me as Wikidemus or Wikidim (any other reasonable transliteration is OK, too).

Citations
Citations are hard to find. Two of the Brooklyn bus pages that show evidence-lacking history have the tag “citation needed”, and that may have kept the pages from being redirected, so I’m going to add these tags. I live in a working-class family who does not want me to pay for what they think is unnecessary stuff, which may be the only way to get citations sometimes. Where I was able to get evidence I cited it. Capisce?

- Both of us are writing an encyclopedia here. In order for our product to be useful, we need to follow the rules, such as WP:SIGCOV that basically describes that in order for us to have an article some heavy-hitters should have written on the subject in detail. Moreover, in order for a bus line (in your case) to have an article it should be special, as reflected in WP:ROTM and WP:NTT. In my experience, it makes sense to verify that there are enough sources (WP:RS) to meet these notability guidelines before actually writing an article. Access to these sources in the modern world is generally free. For example, the public libraries around the world provide access to the books and Internet typically for free. In many countries, even the research libraries would provide limited access to the public without payment. Yes, you would have to spend your time to access the sources. But that is true for all of us, no matter how rich or poor. Викидим (talk) 17:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
