BART Yellow Line AM Southbound (26_BART_154_AM_d0_s404). The network creation process chose a GTFS trip between Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre and Montgomery St. as the representative trip for the AM time period. Although this trip has the same shape (s404, the most common shape) as the full service trips, it makes fewer stops. This happened because the network creation step that chose the representative trip picked the first trip of the most common shape in every time period, and in the Yellow Line case, the first trip of shape s404 in the AM stops only between Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre and Montgomery St. This step was revised when I created the Ranch routing algorithm to make sure the trip with the most number of stops of the target shape will be chosen as the representative.
Need to confirm.
