def map_gtfs_table_to_dict(gtfs_file, table_name):
    """
    Read data from a GTFS table, map the data into a list or dict for
    easier iteration or searching or other use. Each line of the table
    is mapped into a separate subdict, with a unique key.

    Many GTFS tables include a unique value (Example: trips_id in the
    trips.txt table) that this function automatically uses as the
    dict key. If a tables has no unique key (Example: calendar_dates.txt),
    the system generates a unique key using an incrementing row counter.
