Hi Kishore (and Jay),
Because we talked about GTFS I thought to forward this message.
I haven’t heard about gtfs-data-exchange.com, but there was also Bangalore transit agency listed:

Hi Patrick!
I recommend having a look at gtfs-data-exchange.com — that site
aggregates not only officially-released GTFS data, but also feeds
created/converted by volunteers. In this view, you can see the all
the “unofficial” data denoted by gray stars:
http://www.gtfs-data-exchange.com/agencies/bylocation
There’s also an embryonic project called Transiki to crowdsource
transit data, but I haven’t seen much activity around it since last
fall.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi All,
While we’re waiting for transit agencies to open up their data, which
here in Europe seems to be proceeding at a snail’s pace, how about
creating an open volunteer-maintained database of transit data? The
examples of Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap clearly indicate that
community-maintained information stores can exist and be viable.
While this data probably wouldn’t be usable by Google Transit, which
relies on official agency-supplied data, it could be exported to GTFS
and fed into a tool like the OpenTripPlanner, thus enabling people
like me who live in cities without public data to still go ahead and
use a route planner to get about on public transport.Perhaps an initiative like this already exists or has at least been
talked about; I look forward to any and all comments from fellow
transit developers on this subject.Regards,
Patrick Collins
