Add checkboxes to flag unusable/inaccessible gas stations
Editors occasionally find angry URs from drivers who couldn't use or reach stations listed in their gas-station finder. For example, a substantial fraction of drivers -- the majority? -- cannot use non-gasoline fuel, cardlocked stations, military-only stations, or private stations located inside secure installations. Many cannot use members-only stations, such as Costco in the US.
One way to prevent these misroutings would be to add checkboxes for limited-audience gas stations, for example as follows. The app could then let drivers opt in as desired.
In WME, the list might read:
- Military only
- Members only
- Non-gasoline fuels only (e.g. biofuels or natural gas)
- Cardlocked pumps only
- Located within a secure installation
In the app, the corresponding list might read:
✅ Include military stations
✅ Include members-only stations
✅ Include non-gasoline fuels, e.g. biofuels and NG
✅ Include cardlocked stations
✅ Include stations inside secure installations
Something like this would really help editors cut down on misrouting via the gas-station finder.
