Question

I am using the GTFS reader to bring in zip transit file data via URL link. When I look at the Shapes or Stops dataset. I noticed it is missing the shapes latitude & longitude & stop latitude & longitude. Why are the values missing from the dataset?

When I download the GTFS file, the latitude and longitude are present in the Shapes and Stops dataset. Please, see attached.

Bart GTFS data source link can be found at the bottom of their website page: https://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers/gtfs

or via direct link: https://www.bart.gov/dev/schedules/

@yapiyapo​ I downloaded the file http://www.bart.gov/dev/schedules/google_transit.zip and FME GTFS reader seems to read the file OK.

the FME GTFS reader has converted the lat/long values into a an FME Geometry object and dropped the lat /long attributes. If you don't need the FME geometry, just read the GTS data using the CSV reader.

or if you need both, use the CoordinateExtractor

Thanks you all for answering my question.
