Definitely not non-transit items. GTFS defines the equivalent of a stop area. The Paris regional transit agency largely reflects these as transfer points between lines of different bus companies. It can also be useful to link a stop position to a platform, which can be very useful when it's not clear which street the platform is facing.
A stop area in Paris, for example, might be Gare Saint-Lazare, which would group (a) the many bus stops (platforms) named "Gare Saint-Lazare" in the neighborhood, (b) possibly any associated stop positions for those bus platforms, (c) the metro lines with Gare Saint-Lazare stations, the platforms of which differ, (d) the regional train lines that terminate at Gare Saint-Lazare, (e) any intercity trains that go there. In general I don't use them.
