Hi all,
I had no luck posting this in the OneBusAway API so I'm hoping to be luckier here. I'm sorry to be redundant.

I've got a strange behaviour when I call the stops for location API which I use to convert the user-facing stop code to the actual stop id.
The API works fine for most stops except for a limited subset. In the gtfs stops.txt I've noticed that this limited subset differs from all other stops and the difference is that they have a parent station defined with location_type=0 if that matters.
Now, when I search for a stop belonging to this subset I get no results. Curiously If I searched the same stop by using the parent station (which is not a user-facing stop code) the API returns a result: wrong stop_id but lat,lon,name are right.
Any clue on what's going on here ? What can I do to pinpoint the issue to give you more info ?

Thanks

P.S.
I'm using OBA server 2.0 from the master branch.

Kossavot,
That sounds like it could be a bug searching for platforms within stations. Could you open an issue?

Oh, wait - the parent station has location_type=0?

That sounds like bad GTFS data. Parent stations should have location_type=1:

Hi Sean,
location_type = 0 refers to the actual stop and not the parent_station which has (I've just checked) indeed location_type=1

Ok, thanks for the clarification. So maybe a bug (or lack of feature) for searching child stops, then. Could you open an issue, and include snippets of the stops.txt data for the related parent/child stops?

Thank you

In short, no. I'll reply on the GitHub issue.
