Notes

Reminded OMF members on difference between issue and pull request with respective procedures for submitting

Comment from Stephen S.: Can use GTFS stop_id in events to link to GTFS stops.txt

Change suggestions:

• Need to add gtfs_api_url documentation somewhere
• Note that gtfs_api_url maybe different depending on the jurisdiction
• Stop_sequence may not be necessary in trips or telemetry (only needs to be in events)

Matt made updates to the request on Feb 19, after feedback from meeting.
