Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Find ic_price in fare_attributes.txt and check the intended discounted fare.

  2. 2

    Use the actual non-negative amount, or -1 where that extension requires its special value. Do not substitute a fare merely to pass validation.

  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.
