[Talk-ca] Winnipeg Transit data published PDDL

While I can't speak to the quality of any of the GTFS importers, GO_Sync looks pretty comprehensive, and our GTFS feed should contain all of the data they mention. If you or somebody else does end up trying some of the importers and either have questions about or run into any issues with the data, I can try to resolve them.

Hi Doug,

I gave GO_Sync a shot and it doesn't appear to work for Winnipeg.  :)
Things can never be this easy I suppose.  I'll crack out the code and
figure out why it's not working -- it looks like a GoSync issue so
far.  Ultimately I like their approach of being able to re-sync with
new GTFS exports as they become available.  Much nicer than manually
merging.

Thanks for the offer on help with the data; I'll let you know if I run
into any problems with the data.

The shelter and bench data would definitely be useful to export; these
are attributes that can be included along with the stop data in OSM.
I imagine a simple extension to GTFS would be sufficient.  Really all
I'd need is a list of stop id and feature pairs.

Thanks,
Tyler
