vrs — Enhanced Validation Report

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.

stop_has_too_many_matches_for_shape

This potentially indicates a problem with the location of the stop or the path of the shape.

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.

stops_match_shape_out_of_order

trip_headsign_matches_intermediate_stop

Trip headsign matches the name of an intermediate stop, not the last stop.

The trip_headsign matches the stop_name of a stop that is not the last stop of the trip. This may confuse passengers boarding after that stop, since the headsign suggests the vehicle is heading to a stop it has already passed.
