It would be created by the transport operator to describe the path between stops. You can create your own paths, for example by just drawing between the stops, like what is done in: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/49737/…
Sep 27, 2017 at 14:28 comment added proma shapes.txt is an optional file within the GTFS folder. According to GTFS reference website (developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference/shapes-file): "Shapes describe the physical path that a vehicle takes, and are defined in the file shapes.txt. Shapes belong to Trips, and consist of a sequence of points. Tracing the points in order provides the path of the vehicle. The points do not need to match stop locations."
