HART GTFS data stop_name fields are truncated for Metrorapid stops #27

Here's what riders see in the OBA Android app:

I first assumed that this was an Android app issue, but just looking through the GTFS, it looks like this is actually truncated in the GTFS stop_name field itself.

Here is how HART has some stop_name fields listed in their GTFS data: • Nebraska Av @ Estelle St (Station 5 • Nebraska Av @ Hillsborough Av (Stat • Nebraska Av @ Waters Av (Station 23 • Nebraska Av @ M L King Jr Blvd (Sta

So this might be an internal limitation on the number of characters allowed in HART’s scheduling software.

Regardless of the source, its definitely an issue with HART's GTFS data.

Will be resolved in Aug. 18th in next markup and new GTFS file.
