Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-19

York Region Transit (YRT)

Grade C · 73.2 / 100

First check for this agency, so there is no trend yet.

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

What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

  1. Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').

    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.

    Effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.

  2. Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree.

    Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

    Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

  3. Delete the empty calendars or set their service days.

    Some service calendars have no days of the week switched on. Trips tied to these calendars never run; they are dead data that can mask real schedule problems.

    Effort: A few minutes in your scheduling software.
