It looks like whatever tag we come up with will have a URL as its value, since GTFS files seem to be (mostly) available over HTTP. I have local routes which are subsidized by the County Council (almost no routes around here would be commercially viable without the subsidy, but it's a large, rural county so buses are needed). Some of those routes have more than one operator. Each might publish its own GTFS feed for only its own vehicles on that route (one of the operators has done it with timetables which show only its own buses on a shared route). Given that the values would be arbitrary URLs, the semi-colon would be unsafe to use as a separator. So we'd have to come up with something like gtfs:big_yellow_bus_co=*. or route:gtfs:etc. Same thing if we want to add URLs to the operator's human-readable timetable. -- Paul
