Relevant Best Practice text:

The web-server hosting GTFS Realtime data should be configured to correctly report the file modification date (see HTTP/1.1 - Request for Comments 2616, under Section 14.29) so consumers can leverage the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This saves producers and consumers bandwidth by avoiding transferring feed contents that haven't changed.
