if the building is the plateform (where passager wait until the ferry is 
there), it's usefull for routing : route the pedestrian to the platform 
with a pedestrian profil, switch to the associated stop_position, route 
to the desired stop_position with the vehicule profil, switch to the 
associated platform and continue pedestrian routing
