Specification Compliance report

119 notices reported (10 errors, 109 warnings, 0 infos)

Notice Code Severity Total
pathway_unreachable_location ERROR 10

pathway_unreachable_location

A location is not reachable at least in one direction: from the entrances or to the exits.

Notices are reported for platforms, boarding areas and generic nodes but not for entrances or stations.

Notices are not reported for platforms that have boarding areas since such platforms may not have incident pathways. Instead, notices are reported for the boarding areas.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) Row number of the unreachable location. stopId (?) The id of the unreachable location. stopName (?) The stop name of the unreachable location. locationType (?) The type of the unreachable location. parentStation (?) The parent of the unreachable location. hasEntrance (?) Whether the location is reachable from entrances. hasExit (?) Whether some exit can be reached from the location.

expired_calendar WARNING 6

expired_calendar

Dataset should not contain date ranges for services that have already expired.

This warning takes into account the calendar_dates.txt file as well as the calendar.txt file.

leading_or_trailing_whitespaces WARNING 2

leading_or_trailing_whitespaces

The value in CSV file has leading or trailing whitespaces.

This notice is emitted for values protected with double quotes since whitespaces for non-protected values are trimmed automatically by CSV parser.

The validator strips whitespaces from protected values. We do not see any use case when such a whitespace may be needed. On the other hand, some real-world feeds use trailing whitespaces for some values and omit them for the others. This is causing the largest problem when a primary key and a foreign key differ just by a whitespace: it is clear that they are intended to be the same, that is why we always strip whitespaces.

filename (?) The name of the faulty file. csvRowNumber (?) The row of the faulty record. fieldName (?) Faulty record's field name. fieldValue (?) Faulty value.

A recommended field is missing.

The given field has no value in some input row, even though values are recommended.

pathway_dangling_generic_node WARNING 9

pathway_dangling_generic_node

A generic node has only one incident location in a pathway graph.

Such generic node is useless because there is no benefit in visiting it.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) Row number of the dangling generic node. stopId (?) The id of the dangling generic node. stopName (?) The stop name of the dangling generic node. parentStation (?) The parent station of the dangling generic node.

route_long_name_contains_short_name WARNING 5

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_without_stop_time WARNING 73

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.
