Removed feeds

[jbruechert]

During the migration of the CI to a self-hosted VM, I had to remove a few feeds that were not accessible from the DFN (German University Network)

• ca-Yellowknife-Transit @Pi-Cla
• au-Transperth @Steve-Tech @mexon
• ca-qc-Laval @mlundblad

If you find another download link / a mirror, these can of course be added back.
Maybe @Fale's gtfsproxy can help, although it didn't immidiately work for those feeds.

For laval I tested the link and it now permanently redirects to https://stlaval.ca/datas/opendata/GTF_STL.zip
For transperth the feed no longer works on transitland's or my side.
For yellowknife I have no clue... can you access this link on the university network?
https://cityexplorer.yellowknife.ca/gtfs/

This link seems to contain all of the various files that are bundled into the gtfs zip file along side the zip itself. I can access it just fine on my end...

Transperth works fine for me, but Yellowknife and Laval do not, so maybe they're all doing some sort of geo ip blocking?

I could maybe host some sort of proxy for Transperth, but my uptime will probably suck.

Update: Actually I can download all three feeds on my side. But transitland seems to have problems with transperth
https://www.transit.land/feeds/f-q-transperth~transalbany~transbunbury~transbusselton~transgera (Edited because Github's markdown has trouble with certain characters in the transitland url)

While Laval and Yellowknife are listed as working.

can you access this link on the university network?
https://cityexplorer.yellowknife.ca/gtfs/

Unfortunately not, I can not even ping the domain. Likely geo / ip range blocking

Is https://stlaval.ca/datas/opendata/GTF_STL.zip working from your network? We could switch to using that URL until transitland is updated (transitland/transitland-atlas#1064)

That one unfortunately has Cloudflare in front of it, so while I technically can connect to the server, I only get the HTML of the cloudflare check page. In addition to that the backend server seems to be down right now.

I have confirmed the problem accessing Transperth from Germany with at least two other networks, apart from DFN. It seems the entire site is blocked (https://www.transperth.wa.gov.au/). I've contacted Transperth using their public contact form. Perhaps there will be some feedback from there.

I wonder if they might be blocking the whole EU out of (unjustified) fear of the GDPR. These blocked feeds really seem to be a US problem.
