Hi, I’ve noticed that some bus service alerts are missing from the GTFS alerts feed at https://gtfsrt.prod.obanyc.com/alerts?key=<key>

For example, the B103 alert "Westbound B103, BM3 and BM4 stop on Coney Island Ave at Beverly Rd has been temporarily relocated to Coney Island Ave at Turner Pl" does not appear in GTFS.

The missing alerts do appear in the SIRI feeds, but GTFS would be preferable since it has additional fields like alert type, human readable active period, html, etc.

Any chance these alerts can be added to the GTFS feed? Or should we rely on SIRI as the source of truth?

Hi,

This alert is present in the feed as MTABC_lmm:planned_work:16721 in the feed you provided and at https://api-endpoint.mta.info/Dataservice/mtagtfsfeeds/camsys%2Fall-alerts, but it is not present at https://api-endpoint.mta.info/Dataservice/mtagtfsfeeds/camsys%2Fbus-alerts. We are investigating the discrepancy.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This issue has been resolved and the alert should be present in the bus alerts feed.
