Can you point us to a good list of operators that use Transmodel? It would certainly help all of us if there were a widely-used representation, but much to my chagrin I have yet to see a single publicly-available data set offered in TransXChange format. From what I've seen in my time at Google, many European operators are still representing their data in a mishmash of forms that depends largely on which country they're in and who provides their operational software. Of course, that doesn't make all the thought and debate that's gone into Transmodel any less valuable when considering how to represent things in OSM. It's great that folks like you and Roger are lending your experience to this discussion.
