Hi Doug,

I gave GO_Sync a shot and it doesn't appear to work for Winnipeg.  :)
Things can never be this easy I suppose.  I'll crack out the code and
figure out why it's not working -- it looks like a GoSync issue so
far.  Ultimately I like their approach of being able to re-sync with
new GTFS exports as they become available.  Much nicer than manually
merging.

Thanks for the offer on help with the data; I'll let you know if I run
into any problems with the data.

The shelter and bench data would definitely be useful to export; these
are attributes that can be included along with the stop data in OSM.
I imagine a simple extension to GTFS would be sufficient.  Really all
I'd need is a list of stop id and feature pairs.

Thanks,
Tyler

I suppose for once there is an advantage to living in Winnipeg. :)

Hi Tyler,

I work for Winnipeg Transit and am the current maintainer of the GTFS export. 
While I can't speak to the quality of any of the GTFS importers, GO_Sync looks 
pretty comprehensive, and our GTFS feed should contain all of the data they 
mention. If you or somebody else does end up trying some of the importers and 
either have questions about or run into any issues with the data, I can try to 
resolve them.

We also have an internal inventory of amenities like benches and shelters 
provided at each stop, but we don't export that yet via either our API or GTFS 
feed (though I'm open to suggestions on what formats to use for this data if it 
would be useful to export it).

- Doug

Well, it should be somebody local, willing to proceed slowly and check
the process at each step.  Sound like anybody you know? ;-)

Nice!

Has anyone looked at importing this?  I was thinking of using GTFS/OSM
Sync (http://code.google.com/p/gtfs-osm-sync/ ) to bring the data in
for Winnipeg.

Winnipeg Transit has published their gtfs data as PDDLv1.0.  The zip
file includes a LICENSE file with the PDDL dedication.
