agency.txt says timezone is "America/Tijuana" - should it be "America/Los_Angeles" instead?

[michaelkirk]

I understand the two timezones are equivalent (as far as I know), but it seems like Whatcom is inconsistent with other agencies in the state.

Some other feeds from Washington state:

Sound Transit's consolidated feeds seems to use all America/Los_Angeles:

Island Transit doesn't have the field:

Whatcom county specifies America/Tijuana:

agency_id,agency_name,agency_url,agency_timezone,agency_lang,agency_phone,agency_fare_url
14,Whatcom Transportation Authority,http://www.ridewta.com,America/Tijuana,en,1-866-989-4287,http://www.ridewta.com/fares-passes/fares

I noticed this while importing Whatcom's GTFS feed alongside these others into OpenTripPlanner for https://maps.earth. The error occurs upon encountering multiple different time zones. I can work around this, but I wanted to let you know in case it was simply oversight.

This is the error I encountered in OTP in case anyone is interested:
