Top three things to fix
Review the rule documentation for 'block_trips_with_overlapping_stop_times' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Block trips with overlapping stop times (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Review the rule documentation for 'missing_required_agency_id' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Missing required agency id (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Set timepoint=1 on stops that are real time checks and 0 on the rest. If every published time is a scheduled one, mark them all 1.
Some rows in stop_times.txt leave the timepoint column blank. That column says whether a time is a real checkpoint or an estimate. Blank leaves apps guessing, and they may show your estimates as promises.
Effort: Usually one export setting.
