I think that creating a new GTFS server would be better than using

would have full control over what happened to the servers and which
licencing was used.
Does anyone with experience in GTFS know how an integration like that
could work? Also, is what I am imagining even possible?
I would tend to think that using the GTFS standard would be the best
approach. The only "duplication of effort" is that there is an
optional? inclusion of the route geometries in the GTFS feed.
In the one case I am familiar with - OpenTripPlanner, the local
network build process could always download the GTFS from any source as
part of the build process. The only advantage I see for adding another
feed source is to add the capability of publishing a GTFS from other
than an official source. This allows a public GTFS feed for a city
which is otherwise too small to maintain an electronic schedule.
