Currently OpenStreetMap routing API, would have to be replaced with the Google Maps Transit API.

OpenStreetMap routing API should provide routing with Car, Bicycle and Foot profiles. You might have to modify the API call to change the profile.

PS: There might be other free alternatives to using the main osm.org API which will be more reliable.

Would be great to offer this as an option, even if we would have to fill in our own API key. The train tracks in my country differ quite somewhat from the roads when I try it out. Also. busses take defined routes and not the shortest path. Google Maps provides all these routes.
May I suggest creating an option to add waypoints which should help recreate bus routes?
