not for me. i don't think, that it is possible, to do this without using the 
data from the plans of the bus companies, which should be copyright 
protected.
and to make a useful routing, you have to add the whole public transport net. 
mapping tram lines should not be a problem, but what about the subway trains?
but I see no problem in storing the position of the stations. there you can 
find up to date routes and schedules, if you like to use those services as a 
pedestrian.
