We at MobilityData are excited to continue to work towards the adoption of GTFS-fares v2. In the last meeting we had about the topic, we heard you on the value of having synchronous meetings, and having predictability in how/when your attention is needed.
We will be hosting regular meetings to work through the open proposals, and MobilityData commits to preparing them, allow whoever can’t attend to share their input easily, publishing summaries, helping draft solutions, and make sure proposals are in-line with GTFS.
Please note that there is still a handful of important functionalities to adopt, which are decided by the community. These include: fare containers and payment types, time-dependent fares, zone-based fares, rider categories, fare capping, inter-agency fares, and improvements for how leg and transfer rules are designed to make it easier to produce and consume this data.
We believe that in order to adopt this extension efficiently, we need the working group to meet between once every 2 weeks, and once a month.
Best regards,
MobilityData Team.
