Israel rail data issue GTFS #416

in the GTFS data the original route_desc field is parsed into route_mkt route_direction route_alternative. as stated in the GTFS_Developer_Information published by MOT "For Israel Railways line, this field contains train number". that mean that these three columns are empty for trains and that the train number data is lost.

maybe use route_mkt and or route_short_name as the train number and leave route_direction route_alternative empty so that this data is saved and the trains can be searched that way. this will also enable using the databus-single-line-map and other pages with Israel railways trips.
