The key gtfs:stop_name=* is used in Public transportation tagging to add the stop_name from the GTFS stops.txt file to a platform/station/entrance/ ... .
It is used to find a corresponding location in a GTFS feed. For this the feed needs to be specified using a feed code suffix (see List of GTFS feeds).
For a longer explanation on how to reference a GTFS feed, look at GTFS.
Combining with name=*
There is no mechanism to infer a value of this key based on tags like name=*.
Such a mechanism may cause links to GTFS objects to break when those other tags are changed. - even for something small changes like formatting.
Therefore tagging both gtfs:stop_name=* and the other tag is encouraged, even if they have the same value.
Example
Consider Nijmegen bus station, it is a station which we can find in the file stops.txt in the GTFS feed.
Below is the relevant section of that table.
| stop_id | stop_code | stop_name | location_type | parent_station | platform_code | ... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| stoparea:122872 | Nijmegen, Centraal Station | 1 (station) |
To refer to this object we can add gtfs:stop_name:NL-OVApi=Nijmegen, Centraal Station with an (implicit) gtfs:location_type:NL-OVApi=1 to exclude platforms.
Additionally we can add name=Station Nijmegen.
