Diagnosis

What this notice means

The fields named by the report have equal values where this check expects a nonzero interval.

Operational effect

Why it matters

A zero-length frequency interval does not describe a usable period of departures.

Scope

Files to check and report fields

Use the file or input resource identified in the report. Check the message and available context fields; runtime failures may not identify a GTFS row.

Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Check filename, startFieldName, and endFieldName; for frequencies.txt, these are start_time and end_time.

  2. 2

    Supply the actual interval with an end after its start. If the intention is one departure, model a scheduled trip instead. Do not treat every one-day calendar as invalid.

  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.
