Handle pickup_type and dropoff_type in stop_times #121

Closed mmorang closed 3 years ago

Some stops allow passengers to be dropped off but not picked up, or vice-versa. This is indicated in the optional pickup_type and dropoff_type fields in stop_times. I'm told that NY MTA's GTFS has a lot of instances where pickup_type = 1.

Add GTFS should pay attention to these fields for routing, and BetterBusBuffers should pay attention to them when counting arrivals and departures.

This will not be addressed. Add GTFS to a Network Dataset is already deprecated, and BetterBusBuffers will be deprecated with the upcoming ArcGIS Pro 2.9 release.
