Public Transport - Timetables - For Realtime v2


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/public-transport-timetables-realtime-v2

Hello, I just wanted to ask with regards to the metro β€œshapes.txt” why the location data between Central and Waterloo is missing for all shapes?

For example, for β€œshape_id” being β€œ3722”, we can see a jump in β€œshape_dist_traveled” from β€œshape_pt_sequence” number β€œ4790” to β€œ4791”.

shape_id,shape_pt_lat,shape_pt_lon,shape_pt_sequence,shape_dist_traveled

β€œ3722”,β€œ-33.890046”,β€œ151.201901”,β€œ4789”,β€œ47524”

β€œ3722”,β€œ-33.890122”,β€œ151.201842”,β€œ4790”,β€œ47534”

β€œ3722”,β€œ-33.895008”,β€œ151.199693”,β€œ4791”,β€œ48111”

β€œ3722”,β€œ-33.895098”,β€œ151.199699”,β€œ4792”,β€œ48121”

Hi @phazedout, the gap here can be inferred to be a straight line according to GTFS spec. That being said, there does appear to be some cosmetic misalignment with the actual path, we will raise with the appropriate team to look at.
