Since the 2020partial fleet vehicle equipment upgrades, the SIRI bustime API provides both Occupancy status (as a category):
'Siri':"ServiceDelivery':VehicleMonitoringDelivery':n:'VehicleActivity': "Occupancy"
and Passenger Count information, when available:
'Siri':"ServiceDelivery':VehicleMonitoringDelivery':n:'VehicleActivity': "MonitoredCall": "Extensions": "Capacities": "EstimatedPassengerCount"
GTFS-RT supports at least Occupancy status (as a category), and the same categories appear to be used in the SIRI API.
Is is possible to add the Occupancy status information to the GTFS-RT feed? Ideally Passenger count as well. Currently we have to grab both feeds and try to match up based on timestamp and vehicleid.
