GTFS Schedule Validation Report

stop_time_timepoint_without_times

arrival_time or departure_time not specified for timepoint.

Any records with stop_times.timepoint set to 1 must define a value for stop_times.arrival_time and stop_times.departure_time fields.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record.	tripId (?) The faulty record's id.	stopSequence (?) The faulty record's `stops.stop_sequence`.	specifiedField (?) Either `departure_time` or `arrival_time`.

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`.

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.

Only the first 50 of 77 affected records are displayed below.

shapeId (?) The id of the faulty shape.	csvRowNumber (?) The row number from `shapes.txt`.	shapeDistTraveled (?) The faulty record's `shape_dist_traveled` value.	shapePtSequence (?) The faulty record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`.	prevCsvRowNumber (?) The row number from `shapes.txt` of the previous shape point.	prevShapeDistTraveled (?) The previous shape point's `shape_dist_traveled` value.	prevShapePtSequence (?) The previous record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`.	actualDistanceBetweenShapePoints (?) Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the previous shape point.

fast_travel_between_far_stops

A transit vehicle moves too fast between two far stops.

Two stops are considered "far" if they are more than 10 km apart. This normally indicates a more serious problem than too fast travel between consecutive stops.

The speed threshold depends on route type and are the same as fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops.

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.

stop_without_stop_time

A stop in stops.txt is not referenced by any stop_times.stop_id.

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.
