Would it be useful to add all the starting times/ending times as well

It's probably not wise to add it, it changes even more often than the
routes themselves.
It will be very awkward and tag-heavy to add time information to the
OSM data. It's possible to add some data as listed above, but - in
addition to the variations above:
What about route schedule timing points? (Where the bus leaves at a
targeted time, waiting if necessary). Technically, each of those
points must be updated according to the schedule above.
In my tiny area without GTFS, I created the 13 routes in OSM, then
created GTFS data with an external tool to add time schedules. The tool
was not ideal, but the GTFS and OSM routes matched exactly. There may
be better tools available now (For example, I haven't looked at the
GTFS editor at https://github.com/openplans/gtfs-editor )
