Hi all,

While waiting for my city's answer, I'm looking at how accessible
transit data is for various Canadian cities.

For various cities, I would like to compile:
-whether an online route planner is available.
-bus stop locations (GIS-friendly file formats would be good)
-complete schedules in an easily parsed ("read") format.

If you would like to help, let me know what city you are in, and how
your city's transit operator reacted to your request for the above
information.

The objective is to build free / open-source route planner software,
and convincing municipalities to open their transit data. If you are
interested in building such a beast, let me know.

Cheers,

Daniel.
