Notice Code Severity Total
equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold WARNING 13

equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and different lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt and the distance between the two points is greater than 0 but less than 1.11m.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and small difference of coordinates (greater than 0 but less than 1.11 m distance) result in a warning.

The faulty record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`. prevCsvRowNumber (?) The row number from `shapes.txt` of the previous shape point. prevShapeDistTraveled (?) The previous shape point's `shape_dist_traveled` value. prevShapePtSequence (?) The previous record's `shapes.shape_pt_sequence`. actualDistanceBetweenShapePoints (?) Actual distance traveled along the shape from the first shape point to the previous shape point.

equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates WARNING 327

equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates

Two consecutive points have equal shape_dist_traveled and the same lat/lon coordinates in shapes.txt.

When sorted by shape.shape_pt_sequence, the values for shape_dist_traveled must increase along a shape. Two consecutive points with equal values for shape_dist_traveled and the same coordinates indicate a duplicative shape point.

mixed_case_recommended_field WARNING 1

mixed_case_recommended_field

This field has customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (should contain upper and lower case letters).

This field contains customer-facing text and should use Mixed Case (upper and lower case letters) to ensure good readability when displayed to riders. Avoid the use of abbreviations throughout the feed (e.g. St. for Street) unless a location is called by its abbreviated name (e.g. “JFK Airport”). Abbreviations may be problematic for accessibility by screen reader software and voice user interfaces.

Same name and description for route.

The GTFS spec defines routes.txt route_desc as:

Description of a route that provides useful, quality information. Do not simply duplicate the name of the route.

See the GTFS and GTFS Best Practices links below for more examples of how to populate the route_short_name, route_long_name, and route_desc fields.
