Specification Compliance report

38 notices reported (0 errors, 33 warnings, 5 infos)

Notice Code Severity Total
duplicate_route_name WARNING 1

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

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.

missing_feed_contact_email_and_url WARNING 1

missing_feed_contact_email_and_url

Best Practices for feed_info.txt suggest providing at least one of feed_contact_email and feed_contact_url.

missing_recommended_field WARNING 12

missing_recommended_field

A recommended field is missing.

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

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:

"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"

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.

The id of the trip that is referred to. stopTimeCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `stop_times.txt`. stopId (?) The id of the stop that is referred to. stopName (?)
