Hi MTA folks,
We notice there is a Service Alert in the GTFS-rt for mta-bus that reads:
"Staten Island Ferry reduced service today. Transfer to S53, S79-SBS, S93, or SIM buses and take them to/from Brooklyn for the R train to/from Manhattan."
This alert is assigned to all the Staten Island buses and also to some Manhattan ones.
We understand this may be because it can be pertinent for riders on the suggested connecting lines but, since not many users will go to the ferry, the alert is not useful for most of the people who are seeing it.
Ideally, this alert would be assigned to the Ferry line and people taking the ferry would see it.
Do you think this is something that can be improved?
Thanks in advance.
