[iRail] De Lijn and Google transit

Sat Nov 6 08:45:35 UTC 2010

Hi all,

I am new to this list and just started to follow
the discussions here.

I was wondering after reading this article in
the Belgium newspaper [dutch]

http://www.nieuwsblad.be/article/detail.aspx?articleid=DMF20101104_108

Where Delijn , one of the bus transport companies will
share there timetables with Google.

Is this data then also publicly available for others?
Or does Google pay for this data?

Apart from this how good is this Google transit api?

http://maps.google.com/help/maps/transit/partners/participate.html
http://code.google.com/intl/nl-NL/transit/spec/transit_feed_specification.html

How does irail differs from this?

Keep up the good work.

Kind regards,

Koen
