Diagnosis

What this notice means

Two trips share a block_id and overlap on a date when both services operate.

Operational effect

Why it matters

The block cannot describe a single vehicle's actual work, and stay-on-board connections may be misleading.

Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Use tripIdA, tripIdB, and intersection to compare both trips' stop times on the reported service date.

  2. 2

    Correct an erroneous time or calendar, or assign the trips to their actual vehicle blocks. Do not change a real departure simply to remove the overlap.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
