The Comet

Grade C · 78.2 / 100

Down 0.4 points since 2026-07-08 (C to C).

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness down 1.7
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

    5558 of 5558 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: Often one default setting in your export.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

  2. 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.

  3. Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them.

    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.

    Effort: A review pass in your scheduling software.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
