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.

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_file

A recommended file is missing.

missing_timepoint_value

stop_times.timepoint value is missing for a record.

When at least one of stop_times.arrival_time or stop_times.departure_time are provided, stop_times.timepoint should be defined

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_color_contrast

Insufficient route color contrast.

A route's color and route_text_color should be contrasting.

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:

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.

unexpected_enum_value

An enum has an unexpected value.

A service has a gap of more than 13 days between active service dates.

trip_with_shape_dist_traveled_but_no_shape_distances

A trip has shape_dist_traveled values in stop_times.txt but the shape referenced by the trip's shape_id does not have shape_dist_traveled values on all of its points in shapes.txt.

When stop times define distance values but the shape does not carry matching distances on every point, consumers cannot use those distances to align stops to the shape geometry reliably. This inconsistency may cause incorrect routing or display behaviour.

Note: Only the first stop time carrying a shape_dist_traveled value is referenced in the notice; this is a representative row rather than an exhaustive list.
