Shantanu, GTFS is one of the standards. It is evolving & is not the only way to share data. Standards are recommendations and are not bound by the rule of law. You want a 100% compliant dataset, try defining compliance. Cities are not bound by law to release datasets in a particular format.
BMTC dataset was created by me in good faith. What can you do if I share pdf's instead of an inter-operable format. I don't need to share it at all. You want a better one, make your own. You want a GTFS dataset for Hyderabad, request. Didn't I mention in the mail that it is not a perfect dataset. Stop being a douche. Nobody is reinventing the wheel, I share raw data which enables anyone to use their own algorithms & standards. Be nice to others or exit the group.
