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.

Only the first 50 of 10582 affected records are displayed below.

point_near_origin

A point is too close to origin (0, 0).

You can see more about this notice here.

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_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and different lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt and the distance between the two points is greater than 0 but less than 1.11m.

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 small difference of coordinates (greater than 0 but less than 1.11 m distance) result in a warning.

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.

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.

mixed_case_recommended_field

This field has customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (should contain upper and lower case letters).

This field contains customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (upper and lower case letters) to ensure good readability when displayed to riders. Avoid the use of abbreviations throughout the feed (e.g. St. for Street) unless a location is called by its abbreviated name (e.g. “JFK Airport”). Abbreviations may be problematic for accessibility by screen reader software and voice user interfaces.

non_ascii_or_non_printable_char

stop_has_too_many_matches_for_shape

Stop entry that has many potential matches to the trip's path of travel, as defined by the shape entry in shapes.txt.

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.

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.

stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance

Stop time too far from shape.

A stop time entry that is a large distance away from the location of the shape in shapes.txt as defined by shape_dist_traveled values.

Only the first 50 of 965 affected records are displayed below.

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.
