State of paratransit, DRT, flexible routes, etc for GTFS?

[Denis Haskin]

We're starting a project to provide trip-planning capabilities that requires integration of fixed-route, paratransit services, demand-response, possibly flexible routes, the like.

I've reviewed this mailing list and attempted to collect all the related proposals and discussions, which I've summarized here:

https://github.com/camsys/1click/wiki/State-of-paratransit,-DRT,-flexible-routes,-etc-for-GTFS

For those of you who are active in this work

1. Is this a good representation of what's been discussed?
2. What am I missing?
   
3. Where do things stand with these proposals?  Have people done their own implementations or moved forward on any of this?  Any experiences to share?

Our project is open-source and we expect/hope to leverage OTP for it, so I will certainly be discussing the challenges we encounter on this list and the OTP list.

Thanks in advance for input & information on the current state of things with these proposals.
