The primary change in this pull request will be effective in the MBTA's production GTFS file on Tuesday, September 27, 2022. This follows from the recent adoption of https://github.com/google/transit/pull/303 into the base GTFS specification.
Summary:
transfers.txt: Support for a new transfer_type of 4 is introduced to designate pairs of trips on the same vehicle between which riders are permitted to remain aboard. At this time, block_id will remain in use within trips.txt linking trips on the same vehicle regardless of whether riders are permitted to remain aboard.
transfers.txt: from_trip_id and to_trip_id are now officially part of the base GTFS specification, and are no longer experimental fields.
