Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare the reported row with the other agencies and select the correct common time zone.

  2. 2

    Update the agency values and review affected schedule times together. Do not change only the zone label if that would shift real departures.

  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.
