A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.

Checked for changes 16 hours ago; last changed 41 days ago.

Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the agency's own feed.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: medium.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The feed was downloaded from the agency's own URL.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.Likely your export tool

Service data ended 1309 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

⏱ Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.worth about +100 points in its category

Fix 02

Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file.Likely your export tool

A file is missing a column that GTFS requires. Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.

⏱ Often an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.worth about +12 points in its category

Fix 03

Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.Likely your team

193 of 193 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.

⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +25 points in its category

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date was 1309 days ago.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops and 0% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
Fare information is published using GTFS Fares v1.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

Score by category

Correctness62.0 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 9 kinds of issue across 187 instances (2 error, 137 warning, 48 informational).

Freshness0.0 / 100

Service data ended 1309 day(s) ago. Trip planners have likely already dropped this feed.

Rider experience45.0 / 100

0% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (0% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is published.

Accessibility0 / 100

0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

2 accessibility depth signals

  • 5 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (Green Line, Orange Line, Red Line, Teal Line, Hastings Circulator).

    Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.

  • 139 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Main St.", "207 & St. Johns", "US-1 @ SR 207", and more).

    Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.

Everything we checked

14 findings, ordered by severity.

Show every finding
  • Error2 instances

    A file is missing a column that GTFS requires.

    Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.

    Fix: Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file. (Often an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.)

    Finding code: missing_required_column · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Error1 instance

    Service data ended 1309 day(s) ago.

    When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

    Fix: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. (Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.)

    Finding code: scorecard_feed_expired · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices (opens GTFS Best Practices on an external site)

  • Warning193 instances

    193 of 193 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.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

  • Warning129 instances

    Some stops exist in the feed but no trip ever stops at them.

    Riders may walk to a stop where no bus is scheduled to arrive.

    Fix: Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them. (A review pass in your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: stop_without_stop_time · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning92 instances

    92 of 92 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

    Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. (A default or per-trip field in your export.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_accessible_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

  • Warning92 instances

    92 of 92 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text.

    When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

    Fix: Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign. (Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.)

    Finding code: scorecard_missing_headsigns · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices (opens GTFS Best Practices on an external site)

  • Warning4 instances

    Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase.

    ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.

    Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: mixed_case_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning2 instances

    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.

    Fix: Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: expired_calendar · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 7 days.

    When the calendar ends, Google Maps and other trip planners drop your agency entirely. Riders see no service at all.

    Fix: Export and publish an updated GTFS feed that covers at least the next 30 days of service. (Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: feed_expiration_date7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    Many of the feed's trips don't run at all in the next 7 days.

    It usually means old service periods are still in the export, making the feed bigger and harder to check.

    Fix: Trim past service periods the next time you export. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: trip_coverage_not_active_for_next7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed describes flexible (demand-responsive) service but has no booking_rules.txt.

    Riders can see the service area but not how or when to reserve a trip, so they can't actually use the service.

    Fix: Add booking_rules.txt saying how far ahead and how to book (phone, app, or web). (A small file; one rule often covers the whole service.)

    Finding code: scorecard_flex_no_booking_rules · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

  • Info37 instances

    Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.

    Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.

    Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)

    Finding code: unknown_column · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Info9 instances

    The feed includes a file that is not part of the GTFS spec.

    Apps ignore files they don't know, and a stray file can hide a misspelled standard file name.

    Fix: Check the flagged file name for a typo of a standard GTFS file. Remove it if it is a vendor extra. (A quick look at the flagged file.)

    Finding code: unknown_file · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Info2 instances

    Some service dates fall outside the date window set in feed_info.txt.

    feed_info.txt should span every day your service runs, so apps know when the data applies.

    Fix: Widen feed_start_date and feed_end_date to cover all service dates, or fix the dates that fall outside. (Two fields in feed_info.txt, or one export setting.)

    Finding code: service_window_outside_feed_period · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

Beyond the grade

Opportunities that do not change your grade today: fare detail, on-demand service, and deeper accessibility data.

  • Flex zones are published but no booking_rules.txt is present.

    Consider: Add booking_rules.txt with how far ahead and how to reserve (phone, app, or web).

NTD GTFS readiness Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. 1 validator error to resolve. Service data expired 1309 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Valid Needs attention
1 validator error to resolve.
Current Not ready
Service data expired 1309 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
agency_id provided Ready
agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.
agency_id equals your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 92 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.

In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.

A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.

Conformance mark Not yet

This feed is close to the conformance mark. 1 validator error to resolve. Service data expired 1309 days ago. States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Not yet
1 validator error to resolve.
Current Not yet
Service data expired 1309 days ago.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

Can riders use it?

Checks beyond structural validation: places where the feed is valid but a rider still could not travel.

  • 129 of 193 boardable stops are never served by any trip. Riders see these stops in apps and on the map but can never catch anything there, which erodes trust in the data. Remove stops no route serves, or add the trips that should call at them.

These do not change the grade. They catch trips with no rideable leg and stops no trip serves, the kind of gap a trip planner trips over.

Below the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed's last day of service has passed, so Google and Apple Maps will stop showing your agency.

Cite this record

This page updates on every check. The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/sunshine-bus-company/2026-08-01.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, reader archive profile, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-08-01. Use it in a board packet, a regulatory filing, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
