Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the official feed URL on file.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: medium.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The feed was downloaded from the official feed URL on file.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.Likely your export tool

1243 of 1243 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the transit vehicle itself can take them.

⏱ A default or per-trip field in your export.worth about +15 points in its category

Fix 02

Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.Likely your export tool

On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line. The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.

⏱ Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.worth about +8 points in its category

Fix 03

Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.Likely your export tool

Some service calendars in the feed have already ended. Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.

⏱ One setting in most export tools.worth about +4 points in its category

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date is in 268 days.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 100% of stops and 0% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
Fare information is published using GTFS Fares v1.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

You may not control the GTFS export yourself. Copy this and send it to whoever runs your scheduling software export. It names each fix with the validator notice and a guide link.

Score by category

Correctness86.5 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 4 kinds of issue across 1871 instances (0 error, 627 warning, 1244 informational).

Freshness100.0 / 100

Service data covers the next 268 days.

Rider experience85.0 / 100

100% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (100% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is published.

Accessibility62.5 / 100

100% of stops state accessibility (100% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

1 accessibility depth signal

  • 1 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (Artxandako Funikularra).

    Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.

    1243 of 1243 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

    Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the transit vehicle itself can take them.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. (A default or per-trip field in your export.)

    Unsorted stop times (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'unsorted_stop_times' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

  • Info1 instance

    The feed has a stretch of two weeks or more with no service running.

    A long gap can mean dates were left out of the calendar. Apps then show no trips on those days.

    Fix: Check whether the gap is real, like a seasonal break; if not, add the missing dates to the calendar. (A review of your calendar dates.)

Conformance mark Not yet

One requirement remains for this feed to earn the conformance mark. States wheelchair access on 100% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Met
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Met
Service data covers the next 268 days.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 100% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 268 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. No validator errors either, so riders keep seeing this agency in their trip planners; warnings lower the grade here but do not remove a feed from Maps.

How this agency maps to the standards

The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information.

Freshness 100 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners.
Rider experience 85 / 100
