Mapping ferries with varying schedules
Is there a way to map ferries with varying schedules? I've seen multiple UR's on Long Island related to the lack of the Cross Sound Ferry (Orient Point, NY to New London, CT) in the app. I know that TheLastTaterTot began mapping the ferry from the NY side along with another editor Havock9, but the issue they came across was that the ferry scheduled varied not only day by day, but month to month as well.
The only solution I could think of was looking at the schedules over the course of a few months, mapping out which ferry times were always available during these months, and only setting the ferry as available during these times (i.e. find the latest start and earliest end time, and use those to set the schedule).
It seems the schedule is only posted about a month in advance, so you can only view the April schedule right now, but I believe the ferry schedule is a lot more sparse in the winter months than it is from April to October.
Would there be a better way to setup the schedule for the ferry other than the way I laid out above?
