Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.conveyal:gtfs-validator:0.1'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.conveyal:gtfs-validator:0.1")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.conveyal</groupId>
	    <artifactId>gtfs-validator</artifactId>
	    <version>0.1</version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.conveyal" % "gtfs-validator" % "0.1"
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.conveyal/gtfs-validator "0.1"]]

Readme

gtfs-validator

A Java framework for GTFS validation and statistics.

Build Status

How is this different than the Google-supported validator?

The Google TransitFeed-based validator is written in Python, and is quite slow on large feeds.

This validator uses the Onebusaway-GTFS library, written in Java and is far faster at processing large feeds.

Downloads

Snapshots are available here

Using this framework

There are then multiple options for use:

  1. Use the pre-built snapshot JAR. java -server -Xmx4g -Xms3g -jar gtfs-validator.jar yourGtfs.zip

  2. Import the services provided and build your own validation.

  3. Use the gtfs-validator-json and gtfs-validator-webapp according to the directions in those folders.

============== ValidatorMain

The ValidatorMain class logs a number of common GTFS errors to Standard Out on the console when run as a JAR. This includes:

  • Problems with route names
  • Bad shape coordinates
  • Unused stops
  • Duplicate stops
  • Missing stop coordinates
  • Missing stop times for trips
  • Stop times out of sequence
  • Duplicated trips (same times)
  • Overlapping trips when block_id is present
  • Missing shapes and shape coordinates
  • “Reversed” shapes with directions that do not agree with stop times.
  • Exhaustively going through the calendar and printing active service IDs and number of trips for that day.
  • Dates with no active service
