Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-18

bodo Verkehrsverbund (Bodensee-Oberschwaben)

Grade F · 41.3 / 100

First check for this agency, so there is no trend yet.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the rider information is complete. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

  1. Review the rule documentation for 'point_near_origin' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

    Point near origin (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

  2. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

    6133 of 6144 stops don't say whether a wheelchair user can board there. Riders who use wheelchairs can't plan a trip when accessibility is marked 'unknown'; apps show no information at all.

    Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

  3. 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.

    Effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
