Top three things to fix
Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign.
155 of 155 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.
Effort: Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.
Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.
On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line. The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree.
Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
