Is Massport shuttle data useful? #89

Open MoralCode opened 4 months ago

MoralCode commented 4 months ago

Hello! I hope this isn't an unnecessary question as a first-timer but i didnt seem to see any other related issues from a simple search.

When poking around the MBTA api docs for GTFS, i saw this:

As of February 21, 2019, the Massport shuttles will no longer be a part of the MBTA GTFS Feed. Developers can find that data from Trillium Transit. Please note that stop IDs and route IDs are different between the two feeds.

It seems like there's an interest in adding new modes of transit (at least I assume so given the existence of #77). Would including this data be something useful?

I realize it probably isnt a good first issue given the note about the different ID's, but i figured id at least ask so that the answer is documented for the future

another different GTFS feed for massport that may be useful: https://data.trilliumtransit.com/gtfs/massport-ma-us/massport-ma-us.zip
