huh. I didn't realize there was a standard format. I wonder if there's one for Melbourne. It took forever just to get Melb's transit data into Gmaps et. al.

IIRC, this was the main reason it took so long. Google require GTFS formatted timetables for Maps, the Vic Government released the timetables eventually but there were issues, much finger printing was done, and eventually it was rectified.

So yes, there will be GTFS formatted timetables for Melbourne, no real-time though.
