How to fix it

  1. 1

    Find the trip in trips.txt and inspect its records in stop_times.txt, including any omitted source data.

  2. 2

    Restore the actual served sequence or remove a non-passenger/obsolete trip and its references. Do not add a dummy stop just to reach the minimum count.

  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.
