📄🚀 – specify schedule data set when more than one is used on a single service date

Open jlstpaul opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the feature you want and how it meets your needs or solves a problem As a creator of TIDES data, I want to link my TIDES data to different schedule data sources, even on the same service date. For example, I might have both a GTFS data set and an ODS data set. Or I may have two different GTFS data sets that don't combine well (i.e., they have conflicting identifiers).

Describe the solution you'd like When referring to a trip_id, stop_id, stop_sequence from the reference schedule, do we need a new field to indicate which reference schedule to use if there are more than one in effect on the same service date.

Describe alternatives you've considered One alternative to a new field is if the schedule data files themselves are coordinated or combined in some way. The key challenge is that if I have a trip_id, stop_id, or stop_sequence, I need to know which data set to look them up in.

Additional context and sample data One specific context of this issue is the need to link TIDES data to both GTFS data and ODS data. Is there another way to address this?
