Although some of the address data is not mandatory for transport creation, they are crucial for the correct geolocation of the station on a map and ETA calculation. Please refer to the chapters Data Quality and Interfaces to Carrier Systems and “Best Practices” for more information.

1Note that the time zone is used in various processes but does not impact the representation of loading and unloading periods in UI (from and until attributes). They are displayed in local time defined by the provided time zone.
