incorrect generation for bidirectional routes

[xhyrom]

When I import my GTFS data, each trip appears twice—once for each direction_id. However, I thought direction_id is just a field to distinguish direction on a single trip, not something that causes a trip to be duplicated. Am I misunderstanding how it should work?

Also, when I combine multiple GTFS files it's completely broken - https://transiq.xhyrom.dev/view/

It combines random stops into trips:

Thanks for documenting this issue.

When GTFS-to-HTML generates timetables for a GTFS file that doesn't have timetables.txt in it, it generates one timetable for each route/calendar/direction combination.

I suggest adding a timetables.txt to the GTFS before you process it to control the output https://gtfstohtml.com/docs/timetables

For the issue where you are combining multiple GTFS files, can you share with me the multiple files so I can review what is happening?

Okay, thanks! I’ll update my generator to also add a timetables.txt.

You can download some files here: https://github.com/xhyrom/transiq/tree/gtfs/gtfs/sk
I don’t remember exactly which files I used, but I can do some testing if you want. Right now i'm generating separate timetable for each agency.

@xhyrom When you want to support multiple agencies which might have conflicting information (such as reusing route or stop ids where they are not the same) you might want to keep them in separate databases, so do one import at a time.

If you have two specific GTFS files from that list which are not behaving as expected when imported, let me know so I can check it out.
