One of twelve findings Marga surfaces from a typical week's GTFS — auditable, drillable, and dressed for the board packet.
You shouldn't need a data scientist to understand your own schedule.
Transit planners spend hours filtering stop_times in Excel, piecing together headways, and running one-off scripts just to answer basic questions for leadership or the public.
Marga changes the workflow. If you can type a question, you can analyze your entire network.

What you get
Three reports your team actually uses
Auto-generated on every GTFS load. Each finding cites the query and the source table — defensible enough for a board packet, drillable enough for a planner's follow-up.
Coverage & equity snapshot
ACS block-group overlays for low-income, zero-vehicle, senior, and youth populations. Walkshed checks against your stops. Equity gaps mapped, not just listed.
Title VI prepboard-ready
Feed health check
Missing shapes, calendar exception density, wheelchair flags, expiring feeds. The data-quality items your scheduler doesn't have time to chase — caught before they reach the public.
