This is a proposal based on GBFS+ to extend the principles of GBFS+ to all mobility solutions (bikes, cars, station-based, free floating,...).
...:
-
GBFS ..
-
Deep links, Add rental_url to free bikes and stations ... There is already a change-requests (from others) for an extension of the standard, covering exactly our wishes. So we include request #25 in GBFS+, which enables deep links.
-
Type_of_system ... We will add type_of_system in the “system info” file. Allowed values are [free_floating, station_based, virtual_station_based]
-
Type_of_vehicle ... We add a file “Types_of_bikes” which describes the different bike types (type_id, name, gears, electric, description, img_url) In free-bike-status file we add the field type_of_bike (our first proposal on OpenBikeShare Github)
-
TTL ... The time to live (TTL) for real-time data feeds will be at most 30s, so that traveller has always the most actual information about the availability of bicycles.
