13 "T0+WD08_1"
leading_or_trailing_whitespaces WARNING 3

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_recommended_file WARNING 1

missing_recommended_file

A recommended file is missing.

You can see more about this notice here.

filename (?) The name of the faulty file.
"feed_info.txt"
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 113

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.
