We need to have a blacklist for routes that should be excluded from trip plans, for a number of reasons:
* They run only at peak times (e.g., WES or the 99)
* Their patterns are widely variable, i.e., they can't be expected to do the same thing on the next run that they did on this one, so the user can't say "I'll miss the one in 10 minutes, but I'll take the one in 40." This is critical, because the trip planner provides recommendations by *trip*, but the real time arrivals are by *line;* we need to be sure that by saying to take the same trip 15 minutes later we aren't suggesting an impossible trip. We want this to be a good experience for the user.
* They are loop routes. For now, I think we'll exclude this use case because the return route is different from the initial route.
