GTFS without Navitia

[michaelblyons]

For the uninitiated: how does Navitia convert GTFS to the format your project can ingest? Navitia seems error-prone and fickle (arbitrarily drops region support).

Would it be reasonable to do the GTFS conversion in this project, or is a separate service required?

I am also interested in learning how to add new transportation services to Transportr. I think the documentation on contribute page is out of date. I was able to find what I believe are valid GTFS archives via https://database.mobilitydata.org/, but I don't know what to do now that I have them.

I hope so. It's the second link in my last message. 😉

Nativita support is now fully dropped from this repo. I'm trying to read through the code to find a way to re-implement the lost regions, but there's no documentation. A contributions guide would be much appreciated. While Transitous looks promising, without an existing implementation to reference I'm afraid I'm not experienced enough to add it in as a whole new abstract.

Very distantly related: If you have a GTFS feed that you want to conflate with OSM's own data, https://github.com/Gabboxl/gtfs-osm-import may be useful. It requires human intervention, though.

A contributions guide would be much appreciated.

If you look at the JavaDoc of NetworkProvider and at the referenced data classes that's more or less the API you'd need to implement.
