mixed_case_recommended_field WARNING 8

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.

route_long_name_contains_short_name WARNING 1

route_long_name_contains_short_name
