Create a module and Drupal distribution using this module to allow easy entering of public transit information into Google Transit format: GTFS.
https://support.google.com/transitpartners
The goal is to encourage more public transit / mass transit agencies to use Drupal for their websites, and be able to easily export their data into Google Transit for use in online and mobile navigation planning.
The first goal would be to make a module to store transit information and export it to GTFS format.
The second goal would be to make a distribution based around this module, and allow for selecting of bus stop points by clicking on a graphical Google map.
Views GTFS Real Time Alerts module
I am starting work on a module to leverage Views to output a GTFS Real Time alert file, similar to how it outputs an RSS file. I've chosen to use Views so that the module will be agnostic to how the content type is put together on this site and can be contributed to the community for use by other Drupal-using transit agencies.

We already produce a GTFS file from our scheduling system. A module that imports an existing GTFS file and makes the information available on our Drupal website would probably be of more use to us.
I'm wondering what the use case would be for creating the data on a Drupal website and exporting to GTFS would be. Perhaps for very small transit agencies that don't have a scheduling system and do their schedules in Excel.
You would still need to be able to get the Excel data onto the website.
Hope this helps.
