Different route_type warning

[Vasile Catana]

Hello everyone!

I created a routes.txt and it contains information about the routes from 2 agencies. Running the validator it says that "Invalid value 11 in field route_type". In the file I have two types of routes: 3 and 11. 

Here is a small part of the file

"

5,RTEC,5,Parcul de troleibuze nr.2 - str. Bariera Sculeni,11
4,RTEC,4,bd. Dacia - str. Constituției,11
3,RTEC,3,str. Alba-Iulia - str. Miorița,11
2,RTEC,2,bd. Traian - str. A. Pușkin,11
1,RTEC,1,or. Durlești - str. Sarmizegetusa,11
16,RTEC,16,Str. uzinelor - str. 31 AUGUST 1989,11
18864,PUA,5,Tur 18864,3
18871,PUA,5,Retur 18871,3
18979,PUA,19,Tur 18979,3

"

Does anyone have any idea?

Many thanks!

Since your header line is missing;

Do I understand you have 6 trolley busses, and 3 bus lines in the example
below?

It might well be that your validator does not yet support Trolleybus and
Monorail.

What validator gave you that warning?

OpenTripPlanner and its derivatives does not support route type 11 for trolleybus, at least in my experience. Route types 11 and 12 were added by Google Maps Transit, Moovit, etc. at the request of data producers but are not adopted as mainstream in GTFS for some reason.

If it's only a warning, you may disregard it. If it prevents your project deployment, just replace them with the bus route type for the time being or make your own fork of OTP which supports these types. Further reading on the issue - https://github.com/opentripplanner/OpenTripPlanner/issues/3657

Yes, you are right. I have tried to validate it using google validator.

Hello,

The development branch of OTP and any future releases should now support these modes, see:

The problem was that the validator did not support 11 type. Thanks a lot Bodo, Andrew and Stefan!

Hello, 

Google's python validator hasn't been maintained for a while. 

If it can help, the Canonical GTFS Schedule Validator maintained by MobilityData is kept up to date with the official GTFS specification and the route types 8 to 12 (that have been added in 2020 in the spec) are covered by it.

If this is of any interest, there are plans on having a version of this validator also covering Hierarchical Vehicle Types and giving speed warnings that depend on them, as discussed here.

Cheers, 

Isabelle
