Context

This PR is the "voting version" of PR#388, with changes that align completely with the changes up to PR#388. The only difference is that this PR is based on the current spec, while PR#388 is based on the spec from July last year.

The Flex specification proposal is about to enter the voting stage. Due to numerous spec changes since last July, PR#388 has many conflicts with the current spec. To avoid unexpected changes to the current spec during conflict resolution, we have decided to open a new PR.

After this PR is opened, all potential future changes will occur here, and PR#388 will not have any updates. PR#388 will be temporarily kept for contextual reference and will be closed afterward. For details on all previous discussions, please refer to PR#388 and the working group meeting notes.

Additionally, we have created a data example page in the MobilityData/gtfs.org repo to help better understand this proposal. We plan to publish these data examples on gtfs.org once this proposal pass the vote. Some descriptions in this spec proposal will directly link to this data example page on gtfs.org.

Below is an overview of this GTFS-Flex proposal:


The changes in this PR are:

  • Modify file:
    • Modify stop_times.txt to clarify elements of the current specification necessary to inform data consumers of how to interpret the added and extended files and fields.
    • Modify stops.stop_id to ensure unique ID across all stops.stop_id, locations.geojson id, and location_group_id values.
  • Extend file:
    • Extend stop_times.txt with location_group_id and location_id to allow trips referencing location group and/or GeoJSON location in dedicated fields.
    • Extend stop_times.txt with start_pickup_drop_off_window and end_pickup_drop_off_window to define the time that demand responsive transportation service becomes available/ends in a GeoJSON location, location group, or stop.
    • Extend stop_times.txt with pickup_booking_rule_id and drop_off_booking_rule_id to define links to booking rules.
  • Add new file:
    • location_groups.txt & location_group_stops.txt to allow grouping of stops which allow predetermined groups of these features to be specified on individual rows of stop_times.txt.
    • locations.geojson, to define zones (Polygon or Multipolygon) where riders can request either pickup or drop off.
    • booking_rules.txt, to define the booking rules that provide riders information about how to request service.

Please help review this PR. Support resources from first adopters for voting will be released later.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed in and voted for this 11 year effort!

MobilityData's put together a proposal for Flex validation rules to add to the Canonical GTFS Validator. We intend to start with modifying pre-existing rules and including those changes in the next release in June. For those interested, please share your feedback and insights.
