vbus — Source Data Validation Report

foreign_key_violation

Wrong foreign key.

A foreign key references the primary key of another file. A foreign key violation means that the foreign key referenced from a given row (the child file) cannot be found in the corresponding file (the parent file). The Foreign keys are defined in the specification under "Type" for each 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.

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.

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.

unused_shape

Shape is not used in GTFS file trips.txt.

All records defined by GTFS shapes.txt should be used in trips.txt.

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.

unsorted_stop_times

Stop times are not sorted by trip_id and stop_sequence.

'stop_times.txt' entries for a given trip are not sorted by stop_sequence, or are not contiguous in the file.
