Change to LIRR trips.txt

2013-06-17T13:18:35Z

Beginning tomorrow, 6/18/2013, any new feeds generated will set the
direction_id of the trips.txt to a value of 0 for eastbound trains and 1
for westbound trains.

Steve,
My apologies for losing track of this issue.
I have updated the process this morning and either later today or early tomorrow the feed will now utilized the direction_id value.
Keeping with the current LIRR convention of odd-west/even-east, the values will be 0 = east and 1 = west.
It should be noted that while the odd/even convention is used with train numbers there is no official business rule for said convention and enforcement of it in our systems.

The Yankees have their next home game tomorrow. Is there any chance of
seeing an update with the Yankees trains by then? I think from now on I
may end up just permanently excluding the Yankees trains from the schedule
and just redirecting users to the Metro North website for these. It just
ends up leading to more confusion when these trains are sometimes included

Subway GTFS stop name updates

2013-06-15T13:12:22Z

Hi,
Can the next subway GTFS please include the updated names for these
stations?
235 Atlantic Av - Barclays Ctr (was Atlantic Av)
D24 Atlantic Av - Barclays Ctr (was Atlantic Av)
R31 Atlantic Av - Barclays Ctr (was Atlantic Av - Pacific St)
719 Court Sq (was 45 Rd - Court House Sq)
F09 Court Sq - 23 St (was 23 St - Ely Av)

Hi, I'm wondering if there was an update on the question of including
direction_id's in the LIRR GTFS files? The latest data still has all the
direction_id values as zero. Are the workarounds to determine
inbound/outbound trains?
Thanks,
Steve

[MNR] Yankees Schedules

2013-06-06T00:13:26Z

This seems to be a recurring issue that has not yet been solved. The last
calendar_dates entry in the latest Metro North GTFS data is for 6/2. The
Yankees had home games for 6/3 - 6/5 but we did not get an update for
Yankees schedules for those days. The next home games start on the 18th.
Will we see an update before then?

Back to unmodified GTFS

2013-06-01T13:39:40Z

Google Maps is still using the modified GTFS that shows no service to the
Rockaways or South Ferry. Can someone fix this?

The missing stop has been added to the database and this mornings' feed
contains the amended stop times.

RE: [MTAdev] LIRR schedule error

I have examined the feed and schedule data and I concur. I will investigate and post a correction as as as the issue has been resolved.
