Hi,

I use the Transit app to get data for my specific stop, and have observed that for one stop, the buses always have GPS data, but for an adjacent stop on the other side of the street, they never have GPS data.

I signed up for the developer API to confirm whether it's a transit bug, and it looks like it isn't - in the direction with no data in Transit, I see:
                            "Longitude": "",
                            "Latitude": "",
                            "GPSSpeed": "",
                            "TripDestination": "Tunney's Pasture",
                            "TripStartTime": "08:03",
                            "AdjustedScheduleTime": "23",
                            "AdjustmentAge": "-1",
                            "LastTripOfSchedule": false,
                            "BusType": ""
and in the direction with data in Transit, I see:
                           "Longitude": "-75.80002462452856",
                            "Latitude": "45.35131809629243",
                            "GPSSpeed": "12",
                            "TripDestination": "Tunney's Pasture",
                            "TripStartTime": "07:35",
                            "AdjustedScheduleTime": "7",
                            "AdjustmentAge": "4.63",
                            "LastTripOfSchedule": false,
                            "BusType": ""

This sounds like the same issue that Ryan J mentioned in an answer more than a year ago, to which there was no response. Does that mean there is no one from OCTranspo who could do anything about it monitoring this group?

It seems like a problem with the system, not with a bus, because the data is consistent - 100% of the time it is present for one route, and 100% of the time it is not present for the other.

Thanks,
Aaron
