What stats from last year everyone would have had if they played in 2019

I created an algorithm for on Excell that projects 2022 stats to 2019 stats directly. For example: Pena had a .426 SLG last year. Last year the league average SLG was .395, in 2019 it was .435, .40 points more than in 2022. So to project Pena’s SLG into 2019 standards, excell calculates the .40 points on his .426 slugging which would then give him a .466 SLG. This is how I did it for all hitters:

Player proj. AVG proj. OBP proj. SLG proj. OPS
Yordan Alvarez .314 .422 .675 1.097
Jose Altuve .308 .402 .587 .989
Alex Bregman .267 .380 .500 .880
Kyle Tucker .265 .343 .526 .869
Chas McCormick .253 .345 .448 .793
Jeremy Pena .261 .300 .466 .766
Aledmys Diaz .251 .298 .444 .742
Yuli Gurriel .250 .299 .396 .696
Trey Mancini .184 .268 .401 .669
Martin Maldonado .194 .258 .388 .645
Christian Vazquez .258 .289 .339 .628
Jake Meyers .235 .279 .345 .624
Mauricio Dubón .216 .264 .324 .588

Is there a reason Houston has been moving bus stops across the street?

Over the last two years on Westheimer I’ve noticed Houston has moved some bus stops across the street. Is there a reason for this? It just seems to slow the buses down and interrupt traffic. Now you have a situation where the bus stops at the light but isn’t picking up passengers. So stops cars from making a right turn at the light. It then crosses the street and immediately stops at the new bus stop. This then stops the flow of traffic in the right lane as cars have to stop behind the bus or drive around it, immediately after the light turns green. Finally it creates a situation where the buss has to stop twice in a 200 foot distance. Once at the light and again at the stop across the street.

What exactly is the benefit of this to outweigh all of these negative consequences?
