Transitfeed Patch
For the GTFS Explorer project i've been working on, i needed to convert GTFS feeds to KML. Google's transitfeed package is designed to do this, but the latest version (1.2.12) has a bug in it which prevents the KML writer from being imported.
Searching the web on the issue, i found Dylan Vassallo's Github repo pybcp47, which helped me create this patch to squash the bug: transitfeed-1.2.13_unofficial.tar.gz.
To test the KML output online, i used this site.

Why no comments? I used to do public comments but found that moderating and maintaining them took too much time in front of the computer, time better spent playing outdoors. So these days I only do private comments, that is, you can email me comments regarding a post by clicking the 'Comment' link at the bottom of the post.
