MBTA Site Information vs GTFS Feed

[Paul Harrington]

Hi Guys,

I am wondering does the site provide extra information over GTFS or am I missing something in the GTFS feeds ?

For example in the attached image you will see for the 9:41 at P St @ E 2nd St it displays "Downtown Bayview" where as the headsign field in the feed just has "Downtown". The same

holds for descriptions of other stops.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Paul, 

The actual headsign of the bus is "Downtown" so the GTFS data is correct. The longer version will be removed from the trip planner too. 

Sincerely,
