This is old news now, but I haven't seen it discussed here:

Google Transit is actively adding cities, and asking for transit data
from other cities. Cities don't have to pay anything beyond the cost
of transforming their data to Google's format - which is under a
Creative Commons.
There are still some bugs, and GT sometimes suggest you walk on water:
http://google.com/transit?f=q&hl=en&time=&date=&ttype=&q=930+nw+25th+pl+97210+to+4747+n+channel+ave+97217+8+am&ie=UTF8&z=13&om=1
The more competition in this area, the better. Already, GT is kicking
some serious butt on UI alone.
Is there any open source competition? I'm assuming Google's data
format, being CC, will become the de facto standard for open source
work. Does anyone have data in this format?
Daniel.
