The TfL bus maps may not be usable but the timetable data on which
they are based are available at traveline.info/tnds under the Open
Government Licence. Is that "ODBL-compatible" or am I missing your
point?
A note of caution however. This week's edition of the London data
includes breadcrumb trails of the "track" taken between each bus stop.
I am not sure that TfL have intended to release this level of detail
because of map copyright issues. However if you ignore everything
between the <mapping> </mapping> tags, then the rest of the Routelink
records, ie the stop to stop links, are what is normally available as
Open Data.
