Summary:

Frequency type 1 (trips in frequencies.txt with exact_times=1) GTFS-rt start_date should match the service date in the GTFS data (from calendar.txt and calendar_dates.txt). If not, this is an error.

Note that start_date is actually a little tricky to calculate, because it requires loading/extrapolating calendar.txt as well as calendar_dates (including agencies that just add all service to calendar_dates).

Similar issue exists for normal trips (i.e., trips not defined in frequencies.txt), ticketed at #42.
