Specification Compliance report

5528 notices reported (0 errors, 5528 warnings, 0 infos)

Notice Code Severity Total
duplicate_route_name WARNING 1

duplicate_route_name

Two distinct routes have either the same route_short_name, the same route_long_name, or the same combination of route_short_name and route_long_name.

All routes of the same route_type with the same agency_id should have unique combinations of route_short_name and route_long_name.

Note that there may be valid cases where routes have the same short and long name, e.g., if they serve different areas. However, different directions must be modeled as the same route.

Example of bad data:

route_id route_short_name route_long_name
route1 U1 Southern
route2 U1 Southern
