9 notices reported (0 errors, 6 warnings, 3 infos)

Notice Code Severity Total

expired_calendar WARNING 1

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.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row of the faulty record.	serviceId (?) The service id of the faulty record.
4	"SID186346"

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.

You can see more about this notice here.

csvRowNumber (?) The row number of the validated record.
2

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:

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`.
"FOX"	14	"FOX"	"Fox Chase Line"

stop_too_far_from_shape WARNING 3

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.

tripCsvRowNumber (?) The row number of the faulty record from `trips.txt`.	shapeId (?) The id of the shape that is referred to.	tripId (?) 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 (?) The name of the stop that is referred to.	match (?) Latitude and longitude pair of the location.	geoDistanceToShape (?) Distance from stop to shape.
