@bnitkin said in MMM-transitfeed - upcoming departure board for most transit agencies:

@rnieto18 Thanks for reporting that! You’re doing everything right; there was a parsing disagreement between my script and Virginia Railway. You should be able to pull from main (or just restart magicmirror; I think it auto-updates?) and be back in business.

GTFS supports calendars so transit agencies can report different service on weekdays vs weekends or special holiday service. That means a single GTFS trip usually corresponds to M-F service under the same trip ID. MMM-transitfeed looks up the calendar for each trip to generate daily schedules. Virginia Rail has a single calendar called Regular, but the trips reference other calendars like Summer and Day After Thanksgiving.

My script was looking up those nonexistent calendars and crashing when it tried to extract service from them. I’ve fixed it to not examine calendars that don’t exist.

Let me know if it works, or if you’re still having trouble!

Thank You!! works great now

@bnitkin I am beating my head trying to get the Virginia Railway into this module.

I went https://transitfeeds.com/p/virginia-railway-express/250 and pulled the link to the latest download. I added it to my config

		   config: {
				gtfs_config: {
				agencies: [
					{
					"url": "https://transitfeeds.com/p/virginia-railway-express/250/latest/download",
					exclude: ['shapes']
					},
				],	
			},

			// Route + station pairs to monitor for departures
			queries: [
				{route_name: "Fredericksburg Line", stop_name: "Lorton"},
			],
			showStationNames: false,
			}

I get no trips found yet. Check queries in the config if this persists. I can get this to work with your config in the readme.

I have even looked at https://www.vre.org/sites/vre/assets/File/pdfs/MobileDevelopersGuideweb.pdf
and tried http://www.vre.org/gtfs/google_transit.zip

Any help would be appreciated!
