duplicate_route_name WARNING 4

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:

`route_id`	`route_short_name`	`route_long_name`
route1	U1	Southern
route2	U1	Southern

same_name_and_description_for_route WARNING 2018

same_name_and_description_for_route

Same name and description for route.

The GTFS spec defines routes.txt route_desc as:

Description of a route that provides useful, quality information. Do not simply duplicate the name of the route.

See the GTFS and GTFS Best Practices links below for more examples of how to populate the route_short_name, route_long_name, and route_desc fields.

stop_too_far_from_shape WARNING 4

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.

You can see more about this notice here.

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 (?)
