Hi,

I just discoverred that google get information from public transport and
used it in their website:
Example of routing with public transport in
Brussels<http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=50.841503,4.328613&daddr=Koolstraat&geocode=%3BFVDwBwMdiIVCAA&hl=nl&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=13&dirflg=r&ttype=dep&date=4%2F11%2F10&time=20:16&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=&sll=50.83901,4.366207&sspn=0.072197,0.181789&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=13&start=0>
I know it's practically not possible to put timetables in OSM, but could it
be possible to make a project like OSM-transit, who keeps a database with
timetables, related to OSM nodes and relations.

That way, people can make their own routers that include public transport.

I know timetables can change quite often, but I believe the OSM community
can do those updates and in some cases, the public transport firms would
want to work together with OSM.
