GTFS Schedule Validator¶
This free and open-source canonical GTFS Schedule validator is maintained by MobilityData with the help of the GTFS community.

Usage¶
- Download the latest version of the project based on our operating system.
- Once installed, run the application and a window will appear.
- Load your GTFS dataset: you can specify a URL, ZIP file, or directory containing the individual .txt files of a feed.
- Choose an output directory: This is the directory where the validation reports will be written.
- When the validation is finished, the results will automatically open in your browser. If you can’t see them, just open the report.html file that got created in the output path.
- You will see if the validator found issues with the data, and links to our documentation for how to fix them. The validation report will be saved as an HTML file, so it can easily be saved and shared with others.
