Bug report: duplicate dated_vehicle_journey_gid in varm_extra.zip
Hi,I found a data quality issue in the VARM extra GTFS file:https://opendata.samtrafiken.se/gtfs/varm/varm_extra.zip**1. Non-unique dated_vehicle_journey_gid (main issue)**In trips_dated_vehicle_journey.txt, 8,243 dated_vehicle_journey_gid values are shared across multiple trip_ids and operating dates. Per the GTFS Nordic / NeTEx spec, each GID should uniquely identify a single vehicle journey on a specific operating day.Example — GID 9015017000100685 is assigned to four different trip_ids:- trip 175500000282937834 on 2026-06-13- trip 175500000283143425 on 2026-06-19- trip 175500000282215004 on 2026-07-11- trip 175500000281491462 on 2026-08-22GIDs appear to be reused across seasonal service periods rather than being generated uniquely per dated journey. The composite key (gid + operating_day_date) is unique, which confirms GIDs alone are not sufficient as identifiers.**2. GTFS Schedule Validation (MobilityData canonical validator v8.0.1)**I also ran the file through the canonical GTFS validator (country code: SE), which reported 8 notices: 6 errors, 1 warning, 1 info.- missing_calendar_and_calendar_date_files — ERROR (1 occurrence)- missing_required_file — ERROR (5 occurrences)- missing_recommended_file — WARNING (1 occurrence)- unknown_file — INFO (1 occurrence)Note: several of these errors are expected since the _extra zip contains only trips_dated_vehicle_journey.txt and not the full GTFS feed. However, the unknown_file notice confirms that trips_dated_vehicle_journey.txt is not a recognized standard GTFS file, and the missing required files (agency.txt, routes.txt, trips.txt, stop_times.txt, stops.txt) indicate the extra file is not self-contained or independently valid.**Impact**Systems using dated_vehicle_journey_gid as a primary node identifier (e.g. multimodal graph databases, journey planners) will experience node collisions and incorrect merging of trips across service periods.Could you confirm whether the GID reuse is intentional, and if not, issue a corrected export?Thanks!
