Top three things to fix
Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export.
feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates (the file itself is absent) Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.
Effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
5822 of 7642 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
Effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
Add feed_info.txt with publisher name, URL, language, and feed_start_date/feed_end_date.
A file GTFS asks for (usually feed_info.txt) is missing. feed_info.txt tells apps who publishes the feed and when it expires; without it nobody is warned before data goes stale.
Effort: One small file, set once in export settings.
