Grade F · 50.1 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-07-31.
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.
Progress this period
No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.
What needs attention next
Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.
Service data ended 944 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Estimated effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Add fare_attributes.txt (or Fares v2 files) with your fare structure. If your service is fare-free, ask to have it marked fare-free instead.
The feed contains no fare information. Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.
Estimated effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
Trim leading and trailing spaces on export. The scorecard's auto-fixed copy already does this.
Some values have extra spaces at the start or end. A stray space can break a match, so a stop or route may fail to link across files.
Estimated effort: Usually one export setting.
