That is true, but still requires convincing the transit authorities to 
do so, as well as somebody else willing to transform the data on a 
regular basis. Also, there are transit agencies using data formats that 
would still need costly converters to, say, VDV-452, because they use 
other arcane formats nobody has written free/open source converters for, 
yet.
