STM GTFS 26J enhancements to be implemented for the next January schedule period

  • Addition of a drop-off indicator only in the “stop_times.txt” table (type “pickup_type”)
  • New translation file, “translations.txt,” to enable translation of the following elements:
    • Agency URL and fares
    • Metro line names
    • Line URLs
    • Stop URLs
    • Description of station entrances/exits in the “stops.txt” table of type “entrance”
    • Line destination (trip_headsign).
    • All “trip_headsign” for each trip are translated from the “translations.txt” table, however the translation content may be incomplete. Future developments are to be expected.
