Review Draft: March 17, 2008
Joe Hughes
review before updating the official spec. For this first time, let's
try a discussion period of roughly a week. Please post your feedback
in this thread before the end of March 24, 2009 UTC.
In the interest of focused discussion, please keep your comments
relevant to the changes in this version of the doc, as outlined below.
(Minor typos/bugs are also fair game.) Any other significant
additions should be proposed and debated in their own threads, for
potential inclusion in future updates.
Here's the draft document file:
http://gtfs-changes.googlegroups.com/web/gtfs-review-draft-2009-03-17.html
The changes are (in order of appearance):
* A new section on making a transit feed publicly available. This
wasn't previously discussed on the group, because it wasn't strictly a
change to how the data is interpreted or written. However, some of
the folks at Google thought that it would be informative to include
discussion of non-Google uses of GTFS, since there are an increasing
number of applications that can make use of GTFS-formatted data.
* CSV format clarifications, as discussed in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/gtfs-changes/browse_frm/thread/d37ab3e5a4c0da69
* Additional guidance on how to pick contrasting colors in the
descriptions of the route_color and route_text_color fields.
* trip_short_name, as proposed and tested in these threads:
http://groups.google.com/group/gtfs-changes/browse_thread/thread/ab34be2731aa2288
http://groups.google.com/group/gtfs-changes/browse_frm/thread/5cf5e5933d108dc
* A fix for a minor error in the sample data included at the end of
the document (giving stop S7 the parent_station S8).
Thanks,
Joe Hughes
