As forming part of the steering organization around GTFS, I can clearly
say, that the format doesn't imply at all any definition of the usage
right or permission (to use it openly). There are a lot of people within
the GTFS ecosystem that promote Open Data. But you definitively have to
make sure you have the proper permission before including it on
OpenStreetMap!

A pure import should also follow OSM's import guidelines. But if you
have the permission to use the data, you can definitively use it for
manual mapping and check the stop one by one. This is already a good
helper to get this valuable data in, if possible and legally allowed.

Best,
Felix
