Now @[email protected] 🚌 A different kind of transit app. Supports over 100 agencies in 12 regions. By @kona404

@NKertcher Definitely confusing—thanks for flagging! Schedules fell out of sync from TransLink, should be fixed now

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@TravelGuru787 @kona404 Sorry about that, no new features ready for beta but will get an unexpired build out in a day or two

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@ninakin9 @calwatch @TransSee @victhebird @metrolosangeles @SwiftlyInc It looks like Swiftly has started reporting the block_id as the vehicle’s vehicle_id instead of the actual fleet number. Is this expected?

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@ninakin9 @calwatch @TransSee @victhebird @metrolosangeles @SwiftlyInc Yes, manual releases require manual action on my part to ingest it. (Looking forward to the usual process returning!) Sorry for the interruption—should be back to normal now.

@ninakin9 @TransSee @calwatch @victhebird @metrolosangeles Thanks!

Hello! The bird site is not a place I want to be anymore, as you may have noticed.

I am generally monitoring for important issues here, but the place to follow Pantograph these days is the elephant site I’m not sure I’m allowed to talk about: @[email protected]

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@ninakin9 @TransSee @calwatch @victhebird @metrolosangeles Is it possible to post this version to the normal distribution location? It’s a little trickier for me to do one-off feed loads (to say nothing of the many other consumers who may not be aware of this issue).

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@calwatch @Omnitrans Thanks! Unfortunately, NextBus is not GTFS-rt, and in fact has no relationship with the static GTFS feed, so Pantograph cannot support it at this time. As you note, it’s a pretty old format.

Hopefully Omnitrans will join others in publishing the industry standard GTFS-rt soon.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@RickBetita Ack! Thanks, just fixed it. Might take up to a few hours to work through caches.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

SF Bay users: An issue affecting several agencies seems to have been resolved. I’ll be monitoring for any changes. Sorry for the disruption.

Looks like 511 started taking too long to respond sometime yesterday, leading to repeated request timeouts from Pantograph’s server.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@slyfield4real That one’s me, just pushed a fix. Latest update included support for showing after-midnight trips in missed trips (previously they wouldn’t be considered). Apparently I missed a spot. Thanks!

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@UpLiftVancouver Everett Transit and/or their vendor have a lot of trouble keeping their RT feed active. Really frustrating, both as a developer and as an occasional rider of their service.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@AlexKven @slyfield4real @KingCountyMetro Correct, Metro doesn’t include speed in the feed, so it’s calculated based on (straight line) distance traveled since the last location update.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@slyfield4real @UpLiftVancouver @PierceTransit The server migration was me and affected all Puget Sound agencies.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@slyfield4real @UpLiftVancouver @PierceTransit @KingCountyMetro Unrelated to the Pierce Transit issue, a server migration tonight means that trips mostly in the 7pm hour will show as missed.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@JasonHelton Either 511 or County Connection (unclear who) changed the RT feed in November and it no longer includes vehicle IDs, just the numbers you see here. I reached out a week ago and haven’t heard anything yet. I’m monitoring, may have options if nothing happens soon.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@kennysbus Sorry about that, just rolled out a server change. Should be good now.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

@VTA More info: https://t.co/CmX5nEAgQM

[Eugene Bradley @MrEugeneBradley]

Just spoke w/ Tori in @VTA Customer Service re: outage with their Real-Time transit info system. Their IT department has been working on it since Monday. As of 9:05am, no ETA for service restoration.

[@[email protected] @Pantograph_App]

I’m aware the real-time feed for @VTA has been down since start of service yesterday, impacting all third-party apps including Pantograph. The issue is on their end and awaits their restoration. Sorry for the interruption!
