I bang my head now for not checking this before... the data for all
bus + metro stops & schedules in Montreal is now available in <span class="yiv196534274style39">General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format</span>:<br>

I'd like to have some feedback from Montreal mappers, do you think
we need to ask for an exception to STM to use their data in OSM?
This is presumably the same data used in Google (probably through a
commercial agreement).<br>
