A failure now ends when its city leaves range or the camera rises above the
activation gate, so an empty map no longer reads LOAD FAILED. Late activation
and status rejections are ignored like late successes. Partial failure reads
DEGRADED, every in-range city failing over cached points reads STALE, and
freshness advances only on a refresh that succeeded. Behavioural tests drive
the real proximity, update and enable paths. Docs say no licence is published
for Toronto and list Social Bicycles and PBSC. The merge also restored the #61
GBFS v3 changelog entry that an earlier merge on main dropped.
Toronto runs the same PBSC platform as the Austin, Honolulu and
Chattanooga systems already in the registry, and publishes the identical
GBFS v2 endpoint pair under `toronto.publicbikesystem.net`. The proxy
allowlist already admits the host through its `*.publicbikesystem.net`
wildcard and the paths end in the expected `station_information.json` /
`station_status.json`, so the system needs no new plumbing — only the
registry entry that names it.
Verified against the live feeds: 1,069 stations in both documents, all
1,069 joining on `station_id`. The layer reads `num_bikes_available`,
which Toronto populates normally, so availability renders without a
vendor-specific mapping. It does not populate the standard
`num_bikes_available_types`, reporting per-type counts under PBSC ids
(ICONIC/BOOST/EFIT/ASTRO) instead; nothing reads that field today, and
this entry deliberately does not translate it rather than adding a
mapping with no consumer.
The center is downtown at 43.6532, -79.3832 with the group's 90 km load
radius. The stations span roughly 37 km east-west, from Etobicoke to
Scarborough, so a tighter radius would drop the outer ends on a downtown
pan.
The new registry test is the reason this was cheap to be sure about: it
holds every city's feed URLs against the same host and path predicates
the proxy enforces, so a city the proxy would silently refuse now fails
the suite instead of rendering an empty layer.
Credited to Bike Share Toronto (Toronto Parking Authority). The City's
open-data package declares no licence and the feed publishes no
`license_url`, so it is treated as attribution-only, like the other GBFS
operators, rather than claiming a licence that was never granted.
