Steps
Define each plan under data.plans[] with a plan_id and a name field that is now an array of {text, language} objects instead of a separate translated feed.
Set price-related fields as non-negative floats — v3.0 no longer allows price strings like "$1.50".
Reference the plan from vehicle_types.json via default_pricing_plan_id, and list any additional applicable plans in pricing_plan_ids.
Override the default per-vehicle at rental time using pricing_plan_id in vehicle_status.json when a rider gets a different rate than the type default.
Validate the finished feed with the GBFS Validator to confirm plan_id references resolve and translations are well-formed.
Known gotchas
Don't keep a separate localized copy of the whole pricing feed per language — that pre-v3.0 pattern is redundant under v3.0's in-line translations and can drift out of sync.
default_pricing_plan_id on a vehicle_types.json entry is conditionally required specifically because system_pricing_plans.json exists — omitting it once you publish pricing plans is a validator failure, not just a style issue.
