NYC subway links and RT data

[fmonday]

This is mostly to assist with the documentation, specifically with respect to NYC subways.

On the home page of documentation, the linked static file for the NYC MTA yields a file that appears to be readable by gtfs2, but I was unable to create routes. The red box at the top indicates that the info on transitfeeds.com is no longer maintained and recommends a different website. Downloading the catalog and searching for the MTA subway static file, this link works: http://web.mta.info/developers/data/nyct/subway/google_transit.zip

The linked realtime source appears to be what the MTA intends us to use, but I haven't been able to get it to work with service calls even though it appears to think it updated:

Hi, thanks ...but... I already received that database and it has quite a bit of errors/gaps, not sure who maintains this. I will still add it as a generic source though as sometimes people struggle to find something. Wrt to your link, I will keep it as-is as yours only seems to refer to the subway and MTA covers more

Wrt to real-time, I cannot verify this and do not have the time to do this for all the sources out there. You can use the 'service call' (doc) which allows to create a readable version of that data and then you can analyse if it contains the data for your route/trip and stop. Only with 'proof' that is is not working I will verify if the software has a gap in the logic (it has had gaps before)
