The changes in this pull request will be effective in the MBTA's production GTFS file on Thursday, May 2, 2019. These changes primarily follow from the recent adoption of https://github.com/google/transit/pull/143 into the master GTFS specification.
Summary:
stops.txt: Support for a new location_type of 3 is introduced to designate generic nodes within a parent station, which are neither service stops nor station entrances.
pathways.txt: New specification is adopted. Pathways will no longer exclusively include service stops and entrances, and may now include generic nodes. traversal_time and wheelchair_traversal_time will now only be used for some pathways, with stair_count now being used instead for staircases, and the new length and wheelchair_length fields utilized for pathways including only flat and ramped paths.
