GTFS Schedule Validation Report

duplicate_route_name

Two distinct routes have either the same route_short_name, the same route_long_name, or the same combination of route_short_name and route_long_name.

All routes of the same route_type with the same agency_id should have unique combinations of route_short_name and route_long_name.

Note that there may be valid cases where routes have the same short and long name, e.g., if they serve different areas. However, different directions must be modeled as the same route.

Example of bad data:

route_id	route_short_name	route_long_name
route1	U1	Southern
route2	U1	Southern

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber1 (?) The row number of the first occurrence.	routeId1 (?) The id of the the first occurrence.	csvRowNumber2 (?) The row number of the other occurrence.	routeId2 (?) The id of the the other occurrence.	routeShortName (?) Common `routes.route_short_name`.	routeLongName (?) Common `routes.route_long_name`.	routeTypeValue (?) Common `routes.route_type`.	agencyId (?) Common `routes.agency_id`.

feed_expiration_date30_days

Dataset should cover at least the next 30 days of service.

At any time, the GTFS dataset should cover at least the next 30 days of service, and ideally for as long as the operator is confident that the schedule will continue to be operated.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record.	currentDate (?) Current date (YYYYMMDD format).	feedEndDate (?) Feed end date (YYYYMMDD format).	suggestedExpirationDate (?) Suggested expiration date (YYYYMMDD format).

missing_feed_contact_email_and_url

Best Practices for feed_info.txt suggest providing at least one of feed_contact_email and feed_contact_url.

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"

filename (?) Name of the faulty file.	fieldName (?) Name of the faulty field.	fieldValue (?) Faulty value.	csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record.

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`.
"98308"	158	"39"	"39-PAS Niš - Supovac"

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_without_stop_time

Such stops are not used by any trip and normally do not provide user value. This notice may indicate a typo in stop_times.txt.

stops_match_shape_out_of_order

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