I'm sorry if I was unclear. I didn't mean that one person should just blindly dump every GTFS feed into OSM and leave it to others to clean up. I was thinking of something that an individual mapper could use to import the feed(s) in their particular area and resolve conflicts or errors before uploading, e.g. in JOSM.
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I would agree to that. I could image to let a JOSM plugin produce a layer of coordinates from the GTFS stop data.
There could as well be a feature to do routing along the sequence of stops that are provided with GTFS data.
Perhaps it's different in Rightpondia, but here in Leftpondia, it's common to see major (sometimes network-wide) changes to routes and schedules every 3-6 months.
Thank you. This is indeed an important disctinction. Here, bus services are stable always at least a year, usually five to ten years and sometimes for decades. Services on rails are usually even more stable.
For example, my ancient home town Wuppertal introduced a new bus network in 1994 and is mostly offering the same service right now.
