StopTimeUpdate

Field Name Recommendation
stop_sequence Provide stop_sequence whenever possible, as it unambiguously resolves to a GTFS stop time in stop_times.txt unlike stop_id, which can occur more than once in a trip (e.g., loop route).
arrival Arrival times between sequential stops should increase - they should not be the same or decrease.
Arrival time (specified in StopTimeEvent) should be before the departure time for the same stop if a layover or dwell time is expected - otherwise, arrival time should be be the same as departure time.
departure Departure times between sequential stops should increase - they should not be the same or decrease.
Departure time (specified in StopTimeEvent) should be the same as the arrival time for the same stop if no layover or dwell time is expected - otherwise, departure time should be after arrival time .
