Make it obvious which transit systems are / are not included in a given city

[swaldman3]

This is less a technical issue and more one about documentation. I've just been looking at Seattle and I think, by a process of deduction, that it only includes buses. It may have light rail and streetcars, but I'm not certain. It definitely doesn't have ferries. I don't think there's any way to check this, short of going to github and following up on the data sources used.
Documentation please!

There's the top right corner "Info" -> "Attribution". The menu name may be a bit confusing, but the info there should reflect all data providers that are used. Most data updates are automated and I cannot provide detailed info about services for each data provider. You can add additional info to each city in this repository: https://github.com/mapnificent/mapnificent_cities/

Hmm, OK. The problem is that the name of the data provider doesn't necessarily tell one anything about which services it includes. Thanks for making this available anyway, it's pretty helpful (even given this limitation) for "I need to move to this city, where can I live?".

It looks like you're getting the copyright data that's there from the agency.txt files in the data portion, yes? I wonder if maybe even including a "details" thing or something that includes data from routes.txt (perhaps agency_id, route_short_name, and route_long_name?) or something might also be useful? Probably way overkill, but... I dunno, just thinking out loud.

Also, it seems Seattle data now includes ferries? At least, if I drop a pin near the ferry terminal, and set a time high enough, I see stuff out on the various islands and such. Ah yes, I see a GTFS source for Washington State Ferries. Though, that seems to have existed since before this issue was created? What starting location and time allowance were you doing, if you weren't getting those?

Oh, and this also makes me see that the copyright data does not actually come directly from agency.txt data (or that process is broken, or something) -- because it's only got King County Transit in the attribution info, but there are 6 gtfs sources there, each with their own agency.txt presumably... So, that data is out of date (which would be an issue to file in the other repo, I suppose).

Anyway, hope that something in this is useful...

Can the modes of transit be parsed by city (so that user can filter by the same)?
