Need to Update the Old GTFS Static Data

[vasica38]

Right now gtfs static we have is pretty old, in the last two years RTEC and PUA added new routes and did some other changes, so we need to add the updates to our gtfs static repo.

I assume that tranzy.ai is operating on the most up to date data and they are offering an API to access the data -> https://tranzy.dev/

So this is the plan of actions:

• Check if https://tranzy.dev/ is offering the latest information about the public transport in Chisinau, RTEC and PUA
• Update our gtfs static data with the pulled data from https://tranzy.dev/
• Validate the updated gtfs static (one of validators)

I would have nothing against it, but before embarking on this journey we should ask whether this is necessary. Who would use the data? And for what purpose?

Roataway is currently frozen, and even if it weren't - we didn't use GTFS (though there was work in progress to use this for ETA calculation).

If Tranzy gives out GTFS data that are polished and usable "as is", then it is a low-hanging fruit. If not, then I think we should start by having a discussion with Roataway contributors to see if there is interest in putting energy into the project.

@iamandrewluca , @PlugaruT - what do you think? Perhaps we can set up a short video call to discuss it?

From what I see this specific repository was initially started by @vasica38 and he was the only contributor and the lead on it.

I suppose if @vasica38 is interested in adding more contributions, he can do so.

Me personally already lost interest in this routing battle 🙂

@ralienpp @iamandrewluca Updated gtfs
data -> updated google maps data. The current data which is displayed on the gmaps is from 2020, meanwhile new routes and trips have been added.
I posted in the Developer Community Moldova group from Facebook, maybe someone could pick this and start working on.
