Alternative for more complex feeds. Great looping support. Could be great for larger agencies.

Q: Is there any way to import from edit.gtfs.zone?

Say you updated the gtfs file. The tf state should contain each row as a resource (that's a LOT of resources). Not feasible...

I thought this was a good idea but now I don't think so as much.

Lets think about this mathematically. We have functions that turn it into a feed, and those need to be invertible. Unfortunately, we lose tons of data in the GTFS format.

Should we have a structured GTFS format extension? With loops and stuff?

Maybe it's time to consider what big agencies actually need before building this. What do they currently use?
