Top three things to fix
Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.
113 of 113 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.
Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.
Delete the empty calendars or set their service days.
Some service calendars have no days of the week switched on. Trips tied to these calendars never run; they are dead data that can mask real schedule problems.
Effort: A few minutes in your scheduling software.
