Enabling a fast simple creator without timetable
I think we could use a simplification of the creation of a new creator by allowing the generation of a GTFS without any trips
, calendar
or stop_times
with the default creator and only a config file. (I think @nlehuby talked about that with @xamanu in a comment a few days ago).
I think it could be usefull for new users of osm2gtfs when working on a new creator for a city, or just to extract OSM Transit data for simple analysis in QGIS.
I think it would be even better if it creates a valid GTFS, with all files, but with dumb schedules (one trip per route & +1min between each stops, or so).
The trips
and stop_times
are interesting too when working on a new creator, because they list the stops in the right order for each route.
We could have this by implementing #146 and add dumb default values (if not set in OSM). For instance:
- interval = 12:00
- opening_hours = Mo 08:00-20:00
- duration = 01:00
I like the idea. We just should pay attention to not remove important functionality. IMHO we would need a way to select the different standard creators from the command line. There I could think about different solutions (let the user select, select on the availability of input etc).
