Notice Code Severity Total
decreasing_or_equal_stop_time_distance ERROR 5

decreasing_or_equal_stop_time_distance

Decreasing or equal shape_dist_traveled in stop_times.txt.

When sorted by stop_times.stop_sequence, two consecutive entries in stop_times.txt should have increasing distance, based on the field shape_dist_traveled. If the values are equal, this is considered as an error.

You can see more about this notice here.

tripId (?) The id of the faulty trip. stopId (?) The id of the faulty stop. csvRowNumber (?) The row number from `stop_times.txt`. shapeDistTraveled (?) Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the faulty record. stopSequence (?) The faulty record's `stop_times.stop_sequence`. prevCsvRowNumber (?) The row number from `stop_times.txt` of the previous stop time. prevShapeDistTraveled (?) Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the previous stop time. prevStopSequence (?) The previous record's `stop_times.stop_sequence`.

leading_or_trailing_whitespaces WARNING 8

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.

missing_feed_info_date WARNING 1

missing_feed_info_date

One of feed_start_date or feed_end_date is specified, but not both.

Even though feed_info.start_date and feed_info.end_date are optional, if one field is provided the second one should also be provided.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record. fieldName (?) Either `feed_end_date` or `feed_start_date`.
2 "feed_end_date"
missing_recommended_field WARNING 1

missing_recommended_field

A recommended field is missing.

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

You can see more about this notice here.

filename (?) The name of the faulty file. csvRowNumber (?) The row of the faulty record. fieldName (?) The name of the missing field.
"feed_info.txt" 2 "feed_end_date"
mixed_case_recommended_field WARNING 2

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 15

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.

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`.
