This might be of interest to (German speakers) tinkering around with 
VDV-45x:

I spoke to the data wizard of our regional transit authority last week, 
and I am under the impression that just one parser capable of porting 
VDV-452 and/or VDV-454 to GTFS could be the key to opening up dozens of 
transport authorities in Germany.
