Schedule calendar and calendar_dates overlap

[Paul Harrington]

Hi Guys,

Just letting you know that in the Autumn scheduled feed you have in calendar.txt

"Logan-Sunday",0,0,0,0,0,0,1,20160802,20161230

and in calendar_dates.txt you have

"CR-Sunday",20161225,1

The entry in calendar_dates is already included in calendar as xmas day is a sunday. While I suspect this may not be a problem for most users I do a merge

of the 2 files into a single database table and see a SQL key integrity violation.  This problem did not occur with the summer feed. 

I plan on changing code so that when there is an integrity violation in these cases I don't stop the merge so this won't be a problem for me. 

Paul.

Hi Paul,

I think I figured out what you're referring to. "Logan-Sunday" is the service_id for the Sunday schedule of the Massport shuttle buses at Logan Airport, which is unrelated to commuter rail.

I think what you meant to point out was that we have:

"CR-Sunday",0,0,0,0,0,0,1,20160805,20161230

in calendar.txt, and:

"CR-Weekday",20161225,2

"CR-Sunday",20161225,1

This is indeed a mistake. We forgot that Christmas falls on a Sunday this year. We will upload a corrected GTFS file in the next few minutes.

Sincerely,

That's correct, I copied the wrong line in by mistake in calendar.txt. Apologies for the confusion.

A new corrected version of the GTFS file has now been posted.
