Certain nextbike stations are not provided

Certain nextbike stations are currently not provided or mapped.
Here are three examples I found in the data sourcenextbike-live.xml, but not provided/mapped on citybik.es:

• place with uid 50342 ("Dahlhausen Bahnhof")
• place with uid 2278899 ("Grünstr. 59 b ")
• place with uid 115213 ("Frohnhauser Platz")

Unlike all of the other place items, the ones affected are holding a additional property called "bike".
Is this maybe the reason these items are not correctly processed?

As far as I know, these represent separate bikes and not real stations and thus are, right now, ignored, since we do not have a correct representation for bikes on systems (yet). For that particular issue, there's this thread #190

Anyway, I will check again just to make sure these are bikes and not real stations.

Thanks for reporting

One of the listed stations is in my neighborhood. It is a real station with 5 slots and a terminal. And it is in order. I've rented there a bike just yesterday.
The two others are also mapped on the providers map. (You can find the stations by searching only by its first part/word of the station name. -> "Dahlhausen", "Grünstr" and "Frohnhauser")
Thx for your investigation.

Edit: But you are right. On the providers map the "station" is only mapped as a single bike. So it seems to be a failure in the providers data source.

Edit 2: I informed the provider by email. Hopefully I get an answer very soon.

Nextbike fixed the failure for record 50342 and 115213. Both are now mapped on citybik.es. Record 2278899 is a single bike and not a real station.
