Hello! I have a GitHub repository that has functions to process MTA data and I'm wondering if I am allowed to upload the GTFS data to the GitHub repo to make it more convenient for users.

The reason why I want to do this is because I have a function ( transitHelper  ) that adds train lines to stops.txt to allow programmers to easily get arrivals at a stop (because you need the train line to get realtime arrival data)

We recommend linking back to the developer page or pulling from the endpoint in your code (the static GTFS has no API key) so updates get reflected in a timely manner.

As for the function itself, be advised that it is possible to schedule any line at any stop and that is even more likely to happen in real time with reroutes.
