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.

missing_stop_name

stops.stop_name is required for location_type equal to 0, 1, or 2.

stops.stop_name is required for locations that are stops (location_type=0), stations (location_type=1) or entrances/exits (location_type=2).

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:

equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and the same lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and the same coordinates indicate a duplicative shape point.

expired_calendar

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.

fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops

A transit vehicle moves too fast between two consecutive stops.

The speed threshold depends on route type:

fast_travel_between_far_stops

A transit vehicle moves too fast between two far stops.

Two stops are considered "far" if they are more than 10 km apart. This normally indicates a more serious problem than too fast travel between consecutive stops.

The speed threshold depends on route type and are the same as fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops.

missing_recommended_file

A recommended file is missing.

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.

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.

You can see more about this notice here.

stops_match_shape_out_of_order

Two stop entries are different than their arrival-departure order defined by shapes.txt.

This could indicate a problem with the location of the stops, the path of the shape, or the sequence of the stops for their trip.

trip_coverage_not_active_for_next7_days

Trips data should be valid for at least the next seven days.

This notice is triggered if the date range where a significant number of trips are running ends in less than 7 days.
