A script I use to import Mat-Su region gtfs into PostGIS
# NOTES BEFORE CONTINUING
# Problem 1. Time datatype for systems that go past midnight needs to have the right definition. So it won't work with trimet because it goes beyone midnight.
# Problem 2. Needs a service to find the correct projection to move from WGS84 to a local plane for accurate measurements in meters. Maybe I'm off here
# Problem 3. Since I set my machine up to need sudo commands for Postgres I don't know the best method as an admin to do database connections without sudo.
#system(paste("sudo -kS -u postgres psql -c 'CREATE DATABASE ", database_name, "'"), input=readline("Enter your password: "))
#Variables to set
