I bang my head now for not checking this before... the data for all bus + metro stops & schedules in Montreal is now available in General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format: http://www.stm.info/English/en-bref/a-developpeurs-guide.htm Although the license doesn't seem compatible with OSM's: http://www.stm.info/English/en-bref/a-developpeurs-licence.htm I'd like to have some feedback from Montreal mappers, do you think we need to ask for an exception to STM to use their data in OSM? This is presumably the same data used in Google (probably through a commercial agreement). Cheers, -- Fabian Rodriguez http://openstreetmap.magicfab.ca
