Support direct import of GTFS data from the Mobility Data database #521

Open greenscientist opened 1 year ago

greenscientist commented 1 year ago

By using the data from https://database.mobilitydata.org/, we could allow user to browse the providers and directly download and import the GTFS from the UI.

They provide a simple csv file that can be parsed to get the latest file for each agency. https://github.com/MobilityData/mobility-database-catalogs/tree/main#browsing-and-consuming-the-spreadsheet

It's frequently updated, we could fetch each time, but probably better to cache locally for a day or so.
