We have collected data for a number of fixed route providers in Idaho and have assembled the necessary GTFS files. We would like to import a portion of the GTFS data that we've collected to map the placement of bus routes in ArcGIS - we are only interested in the locations of bus stops and the interconnecting route on the map - not concerned about schedule and other info.
There seems to be postings on the site about going from ArcGIS to GTFS, but not the other way. Any thoughts??

I was able to use the KMLWRITER application to get files to where I could view in Google Earth, but am a little stymied with what to do with the second set of Python files. I am not a GIS aficionado. Can you give me an idea what to do with the KML to Shape File tool??

which, when combined, at least nominally should do what you want them to do.

Note that the KML output will represent individual trip patterns, which individually will typically differ from (but in sum are generalized to) what a transit agency otherwise defines as a route. If a "route" only has a single manner in which it operates (i.e. a one- way loop with no deviations) - then that individual trip pattern would match the "route". But a "route" that has trips that go in two directions (back and forth), or variants of trips (sometimes serving one corridor versus another, truncated at either end, etc.) would return however many trip pattern type lines in the KML output.
