Many public transit agencies in the US make their GTFS or General Transit Feed Specification (formerly Google Transit Feed Specification), data publicly available.
A lot of them are here: http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agencies I can speak for all agencies, but I know first-hand that the download information for one is correct and regularly updated. Open source routing software, Graph Server is capable of importing GTFS and using them to plan trips. http://graphserver.github.com/graphserver/ Knock yourself out!

That way, people can make their own routers that include public transport. I know timetables can change quite often, but I believe the OSM community can do those updates and in some cases, the public transport firms would want to work together with OSM. Sander
