route_long_name_contains_short_name WARNING 1

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
