Top three things to fix
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 14 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Effort: One export setting.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
2 of 2 stops don't say whether a wheelchair user can board there. Riders who use wheelchairs can't plan a trip when accessibility is marked 'unknown'; apps show no information at all.
Fixing this covers all 2 stops in the feed.
Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.
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.
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.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- Rider-trip figures come from the United States National Transit Database, which does not cover this feed's country.
- The served-area need overlays cover the United States and Canada, so none of them applies to this feed.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
