route_long_name_contains_short_name WARNING 13

route_long_name_contains_short_name

Long name should not contain short name for a single route.

In routes.txt, route_long_name should not contain the value for route_short_name, because when both are provided, they are often combined by transit applications. Note that only one of the two fields is required. If there is no short name used for a route, use route_long_name only.

Good examples:

"N"/"Judah" Muni San Fransisco
"6"/"ML King Jr Blvd" Trimet Portland Streetcar
"55"/"Boulevard Saint Laurent" STM Montreal
"1"/"Rangiora/Cashmere" Metro Christchurch

Bad examples:

The id of the trip that is referred to. stopTimeCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `stop_times.txt`. stopId (?) The id of the stop that is referred to. stopName (?) The name of the stop that is referred to. match (?) Latitude and longitude pair of the location. geoDistanceToShape (?) Distance from stop to shape.
