There are some free GTFS editors, some paid products, but none that start with maximum use of OSM data as a base to create an initial GTFS feed.

Let me know off list if you're interested in looking at the program. After 1 or 2 people test it, I'll just check it into SVN.
I don't know enough about GTFS and how Google use it, but can you somehow make sure that files generated with your program don't end up on Google (either through technical means, or by educating the users of your program accordingly)? Or at least make sure that *if* data ends up on Google our license is not violated?
I know that there are many non-Google uses of GTFS meanwhile, but since the format was originally created by Google and is still used by them to load third-party transit data, maybe the existence of an OSM-to-GTFS converter could be misunderstood by some as an invitation to upload OSM transit data to Google's database?
