Here is an entry I added to Wikidata:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q37873776
I tried to create a Wikipedia article for it, but it got shot down
immediately. Wikipedia doesn't like companies, even if they do provide
public transport services and even if it's a red link in another article:

My experience is that adding something we map (or refer to like the name of
