[Open-transport] Transit tracker for worldwide GTFS feed

[Patrick Brosi | geOps]

Hi Thomas,

we plan to update the feeds regularly. I already downloaded the new NL 
feed, so after the next server restart, the current version should be 
loaded.

As to the background map: I did not know it was that outdated, but it 
certainly is the most beautiful public transit map I know of :)
