• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.

   Service data runs out in 8 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

   Effort: One export setting.

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

   Trip distance exceeds shape distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

3. Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.

   Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show buses jumping backwards or mis-order stops.

   Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

Hi Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) team, Service data runs out in 8 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
