Navitia: No enum constant PhysicalMode.RAILSHUTTLE

[schildbach]

Exceptions of this kind are pouring in.

Example trip query: from=stop_area:OIF:SA:59590 to=stop_area:OIF:SA:59675

Looks like each Navitia region has its own physical modes that need to be found and mapped properly. Is this ParisProvider?

[schildbach]

Yes, it's ParisProvider.

I'm not sure about the region-specific modes though. So far, I haven't seen any brand names – which I'm sure would pop up if modes were region specific.

I've seen ORLYVAL already which is a special airport train to Orly only existing in this API region (and not in FranceNorthWest or BritishColumbia).

[schildbach]

Ok, that indeed falsifies my assumption. What does Navitia say? Is there an API documentation that could help with interpretation?

[grote]

The documentation is here: http://doc.navitia.io/#public-transport-objects

the list can -rarely- be extended

[grote]

Maybe @prhod can clarify why there's things like (VAL for Orlyval) being returned as a physical mode while it is not even listed in the official documentation above.

[prhod]

Hello @grote @schildbach. You're right about a problem in the physical_modes: the fr-idf coverage (for Paris and around) contains this irregular VAL value. To correct it, we've added the RailShuttle physical_mode value some weeks ago, and we will change the VAL to RailShuttle ASAP.
It way take a few weeks to be done.

[grote]

Thanks for the info! So I guess we just need to add the RailShuttle for now.

[schildbach]

Added via 3ffabe1.

At some point we should remove PhysicalMode.VAL.

• Physical mode "VAL" renamed "RailShuttle"
• Add of physical mode "SuspendedCableCar"
