Hi, I just added Australian Translink Feeds.

They have real-time GTFS-RT feeds too with vehicle tracking, but I wasn't sure if this project makes use of them.

Thanks,
Steve

Oh nevermind, I just found o-r-translink. I'll fix it up in a few hours.

Thanks!

They are already used, but there are some performance issues with real time data matching. So we may have to temporarily disable them at times.

Btw, you only need to use fetch-interval-days if the feed provider has states in their terms of use that you may only fetch them every n days or if they don't support anything to detect whether data has changed.

Otherwise the scripts in this repository should already be clever enough not to download the data if it hasn't changed.

Alright I've added the real time ones in then.

Cool, I'll remove that.

Thanks for your advice!

I forgot to mention that the realtime feeds need to have the same name as their static feeds, so MOTIS knows were to match the updates on.

I just did the changes myself now so you don't need to make another round of changes.

Realtime feeds still need proper documentation
