This compares feed state. It does not identify who made a change or why.
Top three things to fix
Ask your AVL vendor to publish updates at least every 20 seconds (the Caltrans guideline).
Realtime data was up to 1014 seconds old when sampled. Stale positions and predictions are worse than none: riders watch a bus that already left.
Effort: A vendor configuration question.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
30 of 30 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.
Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
8 of 8 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.
