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 2521 affected records are displayed below.

equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates

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 the 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 different coordinates indicate an error.

number_out_of_range

Out of range value.

The values in the given column of the input rows are out of range.

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.

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.

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_field

A recommended field is missing.

The given field has no value in some input row, even though values are recommended.

missing_recommended_file

A recommended file is missing.

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.

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:

Bad examples:

route_short_name_too_long

Short name of a route is too long (more than 12 characters).

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_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.
