Get a list of points that define the shape of the route on a map.
https://developer.mtd.org/api/{version}/{format}/getshape
These points describe the path of the route on a map and how far a bus travels along that path. It does not indicate what stops the bus will service! To get this information, use GetStopTimesByTrip.
To cut back on the amount of points, each path has been simplified in comparison to the path in the GTFS feed. This means that the shape_pt_sequence may not be contiguious, but will still convey the correct order.
Keep in mind that not all shape points directly correlate to stops so the stop_id may or may not exist
