From a user:

I can’t create a bookmark for a route that doesn’t have any recent upcoming departures. It only lets me bookmark the stop regardless of how I try to add the bookmark. I even loaded departures until there was a bus and clicked the ... into the route but it only would bookmark the stop.

I reply:

That is correct and an unfortunate limitation of the app. Bookmarking routes is essentially implemented as a hack, and depends on being able to get information from the OneBusAway server that can only be retrieved when upcoming departures are available.

The app should offer an explanation to the user about this limitation so that they know when and why things work and don't work.
