| `route_short_name` | Text | **Conditionally required** | Short name of a route. This will often be a short, abstract identifier like "32", "100X", or "Green" that riders use to identify a route, but which doesn't give any indication of what places the route serves. Either `route_short_name` or `route_long_name` must be specified, or potentially both if appropriate. |
| `route_long_name` | Text | **Conditionally required** | Full name of a route. This name is generally more descriptive than the `route_short_name` and often includes the route's destination or stop. Either `route_short_name` or `route_long_name` must be specified, or potentially both if appropriate. |

Do not simply duplicate the name of the route. <hr> _Example: "A" trains operate between Inwood-207 St, Manhattan and Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue, Queens at all times. Also from about 6AM until about midnight, additional "A" trains operate between Inwood-207 St and Lefferts Boulevard (trains typically alternate between Lefferts Blvd and Far Rockaway)._ |
