I don't know if BMTC shared data with xerox at all. Either way if you want the data, it is already public on their github account https://github.com/xerox-urbanhack/gtfs-data They released it for a hackathon last year with some API's. The best part is they licensed it open already. It is not perfect, but feel free to use it.
https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/he-public-data/Xerox-BMTC-UrbanHack%20-%20Data%20and%20API88c873e.pdf The data is not perfect. But it should be helpful to check it out. I will look into this app and see if they are using any official API's from BMTC.
