Now that Milwaukee,WI (MCTS) is on GT, we have been getting some additional
issues/questions. I hope someone will be able to answer these.

We have several 'flyer' routes that have trips from Park and Ride lots to our
downtown area. The customers on these flyer routes pay a premium fare.

Q1. GT will place a rider on a flyer route if the next available trip happens
to be a flyer. This is not a good thing as it will cost more than a regular
route. Will GT take into account the fare being higher on a flyer than regular
route if we provide fare info? Specifically, will it favor the cheaper route?

Q2. Since we are a bus only system, the flyer routes are coded as bus. Can the
GTFS be modified to include an 'express bus' that may have a bus icon but in a
different color. This would give the rider a visual indication of the premium
cost.

Q3. How does GT display the 'route_color'? Perhaps that may be an option if the
answer to Q2 is no. I have not seen any indication of the schedule viewer
honoring those color values and I cannot send a test feed up to Google now that
we are live.

Q4. Is it possible or are there plans to provide a 'preview site' for existing
agencies that want to test different data sets, possibly with new features, so
it is not exposed to the customers before the bugs are worked out?

Thanks,

Dale
