As a supporter of OSM and a regular user of NSW public transport, I am
pleased to see this development.
I have a question in regard to use of TfNSW data in OSM. At the moment
the list of data sources on the Contributors page in the OSM wiki does
not include TfNSW data as an approved source.
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#New_South_Wales_Government_data)

If you represent the owners of the data, I presume there is no
copyright issue with any data you add to OSM. I am interested in
using NSW Transport data for (1) sourcing bus stop numbers and (2)
identifying rural railway stations which continue to offer services as
distinct from those that are now un-used. I am unsure of the
copyright restrictions on TfNSW data. Is it possible for your branch
to obtain/grant approval for OSM editors to use TfNSW data and have
this information added to the Contributors page of the wiki?
Probably a different section. And the government may be in 'caretaker
mode' so things are unlikely to occur between now and the end of the
state election.
CC by 4.0 copyright does not let OSM use it... see
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/
If OSM obtains a specific waver then it may be possible to do a bulk
import of data into OSM using GTFS?
The GTFS stuff is preferable as it avoids human errors (though open to
software errors) and can be updated very rapidly.
Anyway - welcome to the Au talking list 'hand of God'.

Hi all,
My name is Sigurjon and I work for the Transport for NSW (TfNSW) Data
Services team which is a small but dedicated group which underpin the
many digital products and projects that form part of TfNSW as a
whole. The team are responsible for sourcing, managing and providing
data with an emphasis on quality and efficiency.
The TfNSW Data Services team aim to contribute and help improve
OpenStreetMap, which we started to use in our products like the TfNSW
Trip Planner (https://transportnsw.info/trip#/) from the end of 2018,
through review and updates that are identified as part of their wide
reaching day-to-day activities, feedback from their extensive network
of customer/public facing channels, and other TfNSW internal
stakeholders.
