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.

What needs attention next

Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out. Set feed_end_date in feed_info.txt past your next service change.

   Service data ended 2035 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.

   This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.

   Estimated effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.

2. Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file.

   A file is missing a column that GTFS requires. Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.

   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 an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.

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.

   This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.

   Estimated effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
