Trips and Timings missing stop name #145

Open lightsprint09 opened 5 years ago

lightsprint09 commented 5 years ago

When editing trips/timings it would be really helpful to have stop name to have a readable reference

@lightsprint09 the GTFS format doesn't keep stop names anywhere except in the stops table; everywhere else the stop_id is referenced only. But I understand the convenience that would be if names could be seen.

Please check out our Payanam tool also. Static-gtfs-manager is made to adhere closely to gtfs format. In Payanam we flipped things around, and there you can build each route organically and at the end make gtfs. So that tool is recommended for situations where you're making things from scratch. Presently it's in beta stage equivalent : some improvements happening but the main stuff is made and working.

Makes totals sense. Thanks

Keeping this open as it might be possible to do this. For example, in Default Route Sequence page I'm having the full stops data load up as a lookup json - that's what makes it possible to get the stop's name and location. In Trips/Timings page we may be possible to do something on display side.
