What changed since the last check
No category changes since the last check.
Top three things to fix
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.
Effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
Check the stop order and the shape direction in your scheduling software; the shape is often drawn backwards.
On some trips the stops fall along the route line in a different order than the schedule lists. Trip planners can draw the transit vehicle doubling back or skipping ahead, which confuses riders reading the map.
Effort: A few minutes per flagged trip.
Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.
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.
Effort: One setting in most export tools.
