The key gtfs:stop_code:*=* is used in Public transportation tagging to add the stop_code 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 ref=*
There is no mechanism to infer a value of this key based on tags like railway:ref=*, ref:IFOPT=*.
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_code:*=* and the other tag is encouraged, even if they have the same value.
Example
Consider Station Nijmegen, 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:17857 | nm | Nijmegen | 1 (station) |
To refer to this object we can add gtfs:stop_code:NL-OVApi=nm. Additionally we can add railway:ref=nm
Consider Nijmegen Centraal platform M, it is a platform 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 | ... |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2547419 | 60001013 | Nijmegen, Centraal Station | 0 (platform) | stoparea:122872 | M |
To refer to this object we can add gtfs:stop_code:NL-OVApi=60001013. Additionally we can add ref:IFOPT=NL:Q:60001013
