Publish Princeton public transport informationas GTFS, so planning websites use them

[daniel-vainsencher]

Some of the P-ton area relevant public transport is not effectively and openly published!

For example, using route planning services such as Google maps (presumably also Bing etc.) does not show the 100 Coach USA bus to New Brunswick/NYC. Why?! lets fix this.

Publishing public transport is generally done using GTFS formats, some links about this below.

Just FYI Coach USA is a private company but they may have some relationship with the government or want to participate as it'd be more advertising for them... More research?

[daniel-vainsencher]

Lots more research required. Just guessing, GMTMA and PrincetonU seem the most approachable bodies. Anyone know anyone/anything about Coach USA? best I could find is the Princeton-NYC lines are run by subcompany Suburban Transit, http://www.coachusa.com/suburban/ftr.contactus.asp
