Hi Cat Tran Shuttle team, Service data ended 1734 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. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. Your feed is produced by Trillium, so the quickest path is usually forwarding this to your Trillium contact. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/cat-tran-shuttle/
