GTFS Schedule Validation Report

equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and different lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt and the distance between the two points is greater than 0 but less than 1.11m.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and small difference of coordinates (greater than 0 but less than 1.11 m distance) result in a warning.

You can see more about this notice here.

feed_expiration_date7_days

Dataset should be valid for at least the next 7 days.

The dataset expiration date defined in feed_info.txt is in seven days or less. At any time, the published GTFS dataset should be valid for at least the next 7 days.

You can see more about this notice here.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the validated record.

mixed_case_recommended_field

This field has customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (should contain upper and lower case letters).

This field contains customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (upper and lower case letters) to ensure good readability when displayed to riders. Avoid the use of abbreviations throughout the feed (e.g. St. for Street) unless a location is called by its abbreviated name (e.g. “JFK Airport”). Abbreviations may be problematic for accessibility by screen reader software and voice user interfaces.

Good examples:

Field Text	Dataset
"Schwerin, Hauptbahnhof"	Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg
"Red Hook/Atlantic Basin"	NYC Ferry
"Campo Grande Norte"	Carris

Bad examples:

Field Text
"GALLERIA MALL"
"3427 GG 17"
"21 Clark Rd Est"

You can see more about this notice here.

filename (?) Name of the faulty file.	fieldName (?) Name of the faulty field.	fieldValue (?) Faulty value.	csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record.
"stops.txt"	"stop_name"	"FAA & HWY 360"	1605

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:

route_short_name/route_long_name	Dataset
"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:

route_short_name/route_long_name
"604"/"604"
"14"/"Route 14"
"2"/"Route 2: Bellows Falls In-Town"

You can see more about this notice here.

routeId (?) The id of the faulty record.	csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record.	routeShortName (?) The faulty record's `route_short_name`.	routeLongName (?) The faulty record's `route_long_name`.

stop_too_far_from_shape

Stop too far from trip shape.

Per GTFS Best Practices, route alignments (in shapes.txt) should be within 100 meters of stop locations which a trip serves. This potentially indicates a problem with the location of the stop or the path of the shape.

You can see more about this notice here.

tripCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `trips.txt`.	shapeId (?) The id of the shape that is referred to.	tripId (?) 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.

stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance

Stop time too far from shape.

A stop time entry that is a large distance away from the location of the shape in shapes.txt as defined by shape_dist_traveled values.

You can see more about this notice here.

stops_match_shape_out_of_order

Two stop entries are different than their arrival-departure order defined by shapes.txt.

This could indicate a problem with the location of the stops, the path of the shape, or the sequence of the stops for their trip.

You can see more about this notice here.
