GTFS Trip-Modifications – Discussing the Proposal

👋 This meeting is intended to facilitate discussions around the GTFS Trip-Modifications proposal by Transit and Swiftly.

Trip-Modifications are modifications done to a trip to modify its shape, remove stops that are not served anymore, and potentially add temporary stops. Trip-Modifications is mainly used in a detour use case.

📝 The topics of discussion are:

• GTFS-TripModification vs NewTrips
• Stop sequence vs reference with only stop id
• Bus bridge proposal
• Potential new or experimental fields : last updated timestamp, link with service alerts

🚂 Ideally, we can find consensus on these issues.
