Testing Details
One caveat on the consumer side: Transit parses both fields and can display the image alongside the alert, but it isn't enabled by default today — it has to be manually enabled for the image to be shown to riders. There's plans to show it by default in the future. In the list of producers, we currently don't show MBTA images to riders.
