Brampton Transit
Grade C · 70.0 / 100
Down 0.4 points since 2026-10-14 (C to C).
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data in the feed scored here 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 with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 17 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Estimated effort: One export setting.
Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').
Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase. ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.
Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use.
Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require. Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: A field at a time; not urgent.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- Rider-trip figures come from the United States National Transit Database, which does not cover this feed's country.
- No need reading for this feed was on hand when this was built, so transit need is not known.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
