7/23/2013 Update to trips.txt: Start using trip_short_name column. Remove (Train ###) text from trip_headsign. Add remaining holidays for 2013.
12/20/2012 Removed extra fare attribute causing incorrect fare quotes.
11/28/2012 Corrections to the calendar_dates file which defines holidays.
10/05/2012 ISSUE: "trip_id" for Train 277 is set to 275_20121001 in the GTFS.
ANSWER: Our feed developer has checked the data. Although there is a discrepancy between the trip_id and the trip_short_name, it is not causing a referential integrity error as Google Transit is able to pull up a valid itinerary for this train number. An immediate update is not required. Since the feed is still fairly new, we will update after we receive more feedback from developers and users of Google Transit.
