Repair

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Compare the headsign with the actual vehicle display and the complete stop sequence.

  2. 2

    Correct a mistaken trip headsign. If the display legitimately changes during the trip, represent the changes with appropriate stop_headsign values; do not assume every headsign must equal the final stop name.

  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.
