[Talk-transit] GTFS and the like

[Florian Lohoff]

Hi,

i am now that busy with public transport but i got a mail from the regional
public transport authority who show interest in publishing data or work
together with OSM. I am not really the public transport guru, i just read a bit
here and there and had looked at the GTFS stuff.

Is there a consolidated approach to not only bus stops (which i take
as solved) but time table, live data etc? Probably Germany only?

What file format is the "defakto" standard. Is GTFS the solution
and one day all data consumers for public transport will use GTFS?

I think currently the whish for locals is to simply take the data
and have some nice clickable map with timetables and all those 
bells and whistles. I havent seen that approach yet so i ask.

Flo
