The GTFS bus stop data is of varying quality.  Locally we have an automated system that calls out the bus stop names and generally the position in the GTFS file is accurate to within a meter.

Some other transit systems are not as accurate, and the GTFS location for a bus stop can be more than 100 meters out.

The result of publishing OSM's information + timetables in GTFS format could be a better GTFS than the official GTFS. But if the OSM-GTFS feed is not updated for whatever reason, then eventually it just becomes stale data. OSM-GTFS consumers would need to be aware of that possibility.
