Looking on Taginfo, some of the tags that are currently in use include: gtfs_id, gtfs_stop_code, gtfs_route_id. However it doesn't appear that anyone has stored the agency_id. There's also the possibility that a single stop could have multiple carriers (operators), and therefore should be able to have multiple pairs of agency_id and stop_id.
