Aggregate Trento (IT) networks or add the ability to open more networks at once
First time user here, sorry if it's already been asked (I couldn't find any info on that). In the city where I live (Trento, Italy) there is a bike sharing network that works across few towns (Trento, Lavis, San Michele All'adige, Mezzolombardo, Mezzocorona) that are listed as separate networks (e.motion for Trento and Bicincittà for the others).
I think they should be listed as a single network because I can pick/park a bike in any station of these towns.
Regardless, it could be a good thing to be able to select multiple networks, even if they don't talk to each other (i.e. if I'm commuting by bus/train between two towns that have different bike sharing networks but I use both of them locally).
Keep up the good work!
I agree on that. There should be checkboxes to select more networks.
https://github.com/eskerda/pybikes/blob/master/pybikes/data/bicincitta.json If you check here (openbikesharing just queries this api) that's expected. Every network is a totally different page to 'scan', so they cannot be merged. Maybe ping BicinCittà to see if they can merge different comuni, even though I wouldn't be expecting anything from a company that stores and transmits passwords in plaintext.
If any, adding more networks could be the thing. I guess the most difficult task would be figuring out the right UI to present the user in this case.
