Top three things to fix
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
26 of 26 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.
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.
12 of 12 trips have no headsign, the text that tells riders where the bus is going. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.
Effort: Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.
Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.
On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line. The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
