Akasaka Prince Hotel relot question

Hiya!

I've been relotting KS_JPN buildings and I've hit a small snag with Akasaka Prince Hotel. Since this is a transit enabled lot I copied all the values from the original landmark lot to my PIM-X generated new lot (I did the same with building descriptor values). The original lot's first transit switch is falsely oriented and the automata despawns when entering the lot. After I changed the direction in the lot editor it's fine (after in-game testing), the automata doesn't despawn. Since I want to make a landmark with jobs (like the original lot has) I am wondering about the best practices regarding these values and updating TE Lots.

So, my questions for the more knowledgeable among you are:

Should I keep this lot as a TE Lot since the direction of the network going through is South to East and not one of the cardinal directions (North-South or West-East) that the other topics on this theme mentioned?

Are the values of 0 for Transit Switch Entry Cost and Transit Switch Entry Capacity correct for a lot that is transit enabled but only serves as a visually pleasing path for automata to go through and not a real transit switch for traffic to use?

Are the "Ride Train" values in the building descriptor okay? Do they matter for "eye candy" TE Lots or should they be switched and if, to what?
