I did an internship in a bus company several years ago and we finally abandoned the idea of GTFS because they (Google) were so uptight about the correctness of the data.
We had a few trips that were non consistent (the average speed was something like 150 km/h - 93 mp/h) that we couldn't do anything about and they refused to integrate those data.
Several bus stops were also too close (they were apart of a narrow street) and were generating warnings every time.
I wish I had this book back then.

Aside from the edge cases, it is a very robust specification that is able to handle a majority of situations. Side note: my book is about consumption of GTFS feeds rather than generation of them
