The more information about how to get passengers from the street to the platform the better.  I would update my tools to support whatever we decide here.\r\n\r\nIn particular, here are some things that would be helpful to routing besides what's already been mentioned:\r\n- Travel time from the entrance to the platform.  Super important in really large stations.  Geometry could be included as well and might be helpful for guidance, but travel time is more important to me.\r\n- Some way to link a stop or station entrance to a specific street.  Often when I have to guess which street to \"snap\" a stop to, particularly bus stops along major roads, the stop will fall closer to the centerline of a side street and will snap to the side street instead of the main street the bus actually runs on.  There's no way for me to associate the stop with a particular street.  However, in order to make this distinction, one would have to tag each stop with some kind of street ID, which would necessitate picking some \"official\" street dataset, which I don't think is a good thing.  Even if we chose something like OSM, it would be hard to keep the GTFS dataset and the OSM street IDs in sync.  So...I don't know what to do about this problem.\r\n\r\nRegarding amenities: I'm under the impression that GTFS is meant to be primarily for routing passengers through the transit system and not for, say, asset management.  We wouldn't want to clutter up the spec with list of amenities that aren't relevant to routing passengers from one place to another.  That said, I don't think anything that's been mentioned so far (elevators, fare boxes, entrance vs exit, hours of operation) are inconsistent with the routing aspects.\r\n\r\nAlso, if we broke the station entrances out into a separate file, it's a little weird then that parent stations are included in stops.txt already."}}
