AAATA/TheRide feed issues #10

I think these both are minor but worth noting, referencing https://transit.alerts.social/u/theride_aata added at #1 :

  1. The terms of service for use of this data is at https://www.theride.org/business/software-developers and reads

Should you use the Data for any purposes, you agree to provide the following legend, prominently displayed: "Transit scheduling, geographic, and real-time data provided by permission of AAATA/TheRide" unless otherwise agreed by AAATA/TheRide in writing. Other than displaying this legend, you are not authorized to make any use of any proprietary service marks of AAATA/TheRide, including the AAATA/TheRide logo, or any confusingly similar variant thereof.

I would suggest that the legend referenced above go on the header for the page https://transit.alerts.social/u/theride_aata where "Automated service alerts for TheRide AATA" is currently listed.

  1. The feed name "theride_aata" is not current and correct - the old name "AATA" ("Ann Arbor Transportation Authority") was replaced by a new name "AAATA" ("Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority") in 2013 after a new millage included several neighboring communities including Ypsilanti, MI.

I realize that fixing the name = setting up a new provider, so some kind of accommodation for telling people that there's a new name to follow probably fits in there as well.
