Support for Massachusetts, USA Region

[xeniarose]

Acknowledgments
Please check the following boxes with an x if they apply:

• The feature I want to propose would be useful for the majority of users, not only for me personally.
• I am aware that Transportr is mostly developed by one person in their unpaid spare time.
• I can help myself to get this feature implemented or know someone who wants to do it.
• If I want to add support for a new region or country, I checked that this is already available in public-transport-enabler and know the process described on the Transportr homepage.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Transportr currently doesn't support any transportation in Massachusetts, USA

Describe the solution you'd like

Awesome @erikuhlmann! Wish everybody would work like you :)

Tiny detail about the upcoming PR: Please don't use new PNG files. These should be replaces by vector images. See #238

Just to update this issue: The PR has been merged to public-transport-enabler.

Also, I've found SVG source for the PNG logo in this pull request: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag-map_of_Massachusetts.svg .
I converted it with https://a-student.github.io/SvgToVectorDrawableConverter.Web/ to get https://gist.github.com/fibn144/a99538fe80725a950e4fb7819c9da6d3 , but I don't know what I'm doing around Android development and so someone should sanity-check it because I haven't.

Also the SVG (and therefore the converted Android XML file) is CC-BY-SA in case that is an issue, although if it is then both of its two source images are public domain, and so a close equivalent can be easily recreated and released CC0.

If there's too much happening in the flag-map and you want a simpler one, here's just the flag by itself: https://gist.github.com/fibn144/475006c32da0323dac96e43b32f66df8

There are also easy ways to get the logos of the MassDOT, as well as the two different public transportation networks represented in the dataset, if that is preferable.

Hi @fibn144, I think it would be nice to add this new region to Transportr as well. Are you still interested in working on this?

The flag itself would be better than the flag-map to have a simpler vector file - perhaps you could even try to simplify the paths further to get faster loading in Android?

Unfortunately Massachusetts is not served by Navitia anymore, see #877 (comment).
