Hi! I'm also dealing with a similar error when I run the Count Trips at Stops tool. I'm running ArcGIS 10.3.1 for desktop, and the Unicode error I get is the following:
Executing: CountTripsAtStops C:\Users\alex_\Desktop\test\test1.gdb\testdusseldorf C:\Users\alex_\Desktop\test\gtfsdusseldorf022019c.sql 20190205 06:00 20:00 Departures

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 25: ordinal not in range(128)
Failed to execute (CountTripsAtStops).
The GTFS dataset I used as an input is accessible here.
I tried to change the file path or the file name, but it didn't work.
Any ideas for possible solutions?
