Bad trips.txt file on Queens Bus Redesign GTFS

[Stephen Bauman]

The MTA posted a link to the Queens Bus Redesign on its website.

https://new.mta.info/project/queens-bus-network-redesign

The download link is:

https://new.mta.info/sites/default/files/2024-03/GTFS-TRIPS_978cad10_2024-02-23-16-19-36.zip

Unfortunately, approximately 586 lines of the trips.txt file look like:

trip_id,route_id,service_id,direction_id,shape_id,trip_headsign,wheelchair_accessible,bikes_allowed,block_id
Weekday-3e4bf37b-A-IB-0000-036fef3,3e4bf37b,1,0,1224562695,,,,
Weekday-3e4bf37b-A-OB-0100-59858d2,3e4bf37b,1,1,1224562696,,,,
Weekday-3e4bf37b-A-IB-0430-9eb69d0,3e4bf37b,1,0,1224562695,,,,

There is no route id 3e4bf37b or anything similar in the written presentation.

Also, there is no link back to these trip_id's in the stop_times.txt file.

Can these trips.txt lines be ignored? 

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Times for trip_id Weekday-3e4bf37b-A-IB-0000-036fef3, begin on line 204274 of stop_times.txt. Route 3e4bf37b is properly defined on line 26 of routes.txt.

Thanks for that quick clarification.

I've gotten a bit lazy with the MTA's using the route_short_name as its route_id.
