Transit mode not used, problems with GTFS data? about r5r

[rafapereirabr]

What is the period of reference of your GTFS when you look inside the calendar.txt file ?

Hi, thanks for the very quick reply. Most routes seem to have a start date from around the middle of may 2024 to december 2024 for the data I have downloaded. I have tried many alternative departure dates, and times, but to no avail.

I extracted the public transit net to have a look at it. Here, I only have the Kolumbus net imported.

transit_net <- r5r::transit_network_to_sf(r5r_core)

I only see one route opening the transit_net under "Data" in R Studio.

Meanwhile for the POA data there are many other routes:

Not sure what the issue is here.

This looks like an issue with your GTFS data. I'd recommend using the gtfstools package to check the feed. https://ipeagit.github.io/gtfstools/articles/validating.html

I've run the valdidator and I do get some warnings. Not sure what to make of all of these, so I have listed some here:

Probably due to extended route types.

I have tried the same gtfs data on gtfsrouter and Network Analyst for ArcGIS Pro and it seems to work fine.

[rafapereirabr]

Humm. Interesting. Does your Kolumbus GTFS use extended route types?

[toreueland]

Yes, I tried editing them to be "normal route types" but it didn't seem to fix the issue.

A solution I found was to use "processed" datasets from gtfs.pro. This works fine, but I don't really know what the issue is.

Hmmm. I don't really know either. But apparently it's an issue with the GTFS feed and not with r5r.

Hi, thanks for using gtfs.pro. I am responsible for cleaning and data correction at gtfs.pro. What we do here is fix extended route types that are not compliant with the GTFS reference. In this case, these two route types were assigned route_type=4:
1004,Local Car Ferry Service
1014,Passenger High-Speed Ferry Service

You can find that these route types were mentioned once in google groups discussions but were not included in the extended route types list.
