I don't see why this needs to be a separate project. We already have
Key:opening_hours for amenities, why not Tag:highway:bus_stop with
additional tags that describe when each bus line stops there and a
relation to map the greater bus route. That should be sufficient
information to map the transit system and the data wouldn't be spread
across two independently maintained databases.
