GTFS Regional
Good Morning,
I downloaded GTFS regional (beta) for Otraf. I noticed that in routes.txt there are duplicates of routes.
We find the same value for :
route_short_name
route_type
agency_id
This is impacting route_short_name : 2, 3, 4, 429 and 102.
For example, it's impossible to differentiate the two routes "2" without a different route_long_name.
could you populate route_long_name so we can differentiate routes?
Thank you in advance,

Thanks for your input
If you use route_id you can differentiate routes.
One question, why do you want to use route_long_name to differentiate routes?

Thank you so much for your answer.
We have a dashboard to visualize multiple routes at the same time on a map. We integrated data from OTRAF.
We use commercial name of routes to help passengers, that's why we use "short_name" and "long_name". If you can see in his screen shot, Route 2 from Norrkoping and Linkoping has the same short_name. The only way to differentiate is with route_id. But I'm afraid that route_id '9011005900200000' and '9011005020200000' won't be intuitive for passengers.
In this link you can see what happens when we select Route number 2 ( both routes show up). https://www.loom.com/share/55ffa3c65fb44e44830674056a9934bb
If you can populate long_name, we would combine bothering information, making each route unique. At the same time a passenger could understand the difference between both routes and they would see "Route 2" instead of "Route 9011005900200000".
Best,
We need to discuss this issue with Östgötatrafiken. We will get back to you as soon as we have more information.
Have a great weekend
