If a PBSC city has e-bikes, please indicate the number of e-bikes in the extra property
Background information
PBSC is a company which sells bike-share products and services worldwide, including a technology platform. If a city uses PBSC's technology platform, the city will include publicbikesystem.net somewhere in its feed URL.
Some PBSC cities have e-bikes. (Example: Bike Share Toronto, https://tor.publicbikesystem.net/ube/gbfs/v1/gbfs.json.)
Other PBSC cities don't have any e-bikes. (Example: SBU Wolf Ride Bike Share, https://stonybrook.publicbikesystem.net/ube/gbfs/v1/gbfs.json.)
To tell how many ebikes a PBSC station has, you load the GBFS v1 station_status feed file. Then, you look inside num_bikes_available_types.
Example:
{"station_id":"7645","num_bikes_available":10,"num_bikes_available_types":{"mechanical":8,"ebike":2},"num_bikes_disabled":4,"num_docks_available":1,"num_docks_disabled":0,"last_reported":1661705184,"is_charging_station":false,"status":"IN_SERVICE","is_installed":1,"is_renting":1,"is_returning":1,"traffic":null}
The above station has 8 mechanical bikes and 2 ebikes.
(You can also determine e-bike counts from PBSC's newer GBFS v2 endpoints, such as this one, but it requires slightly more work. "Boost" and "EFit" bikes are e-bikes; "Iconic" bikes are mechanical.)
My request
If a PBSC station has e-bikes, it would be good if pybikes could please update the extra property to indicate the number of e-bikes.
Conclusion
Thank you for all the work you've put into pybikes!
