Stations listed twice

[sergip76]

Some bike systems like Citibike in New York lists each station twice.
I'm using the listed url:
https://gbfs.lyft.com/gbfs/1.1/bkn/en/station_information.json

Hello Sergi! Thank you for raising this data quality issue.

I have informed Lyft of this issue.

Please note that the open source online GBFS validator will soon allow producers to identify the case that you mentioned. With the PR #106, the validator will raise an error when station_information.json or station_status.json contain duplicate station_id.

Thank you for your contribution!

@richfab I've noticed when you have a big system like Citibike or Divvy with low data quality there are so many errors that the validator fails because the response is too large:
https://gbfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/validator?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgbfs.divvybikes.com%2Fgbfs%2Fgbfs.json
Returns:
{ "errorMessage": "Response payload size exceeded maximum allowed payload size (6291556 bytes).", "errorType": "Function.ResponseSizeTooLarge" }

Hi @mplsmitch! Thank you for flagging this issue.

A response payload size exceeded issue is open on the GBFS validator repo: MobilityData/gbfs-validator#109.

I hope this issue can be resolved shortly. Thank you!

@richfab When looking at the data for Citi Bike from NYC, it looks like the duplicate stations started to appear from August 4. Hopefully this will help troubleshooting this situation.

Thanks for flagging this issue. The problem with the stations appearing twice on the citibike feed has now been resolved.

I confirm that there is no longer any duplicate station in https://gbfs.lyft.com/gbfs/1.1/bkn/en/station_information.json.
Thank you @ArashMansouri for resolving this issue so quickly.
