Muni (aka SFMTA) has released GTFS data files describing its routes to the public. This is the data format that is used to feed data into Google Transit. It's under a wordy licence, though.
Given that SFMTA is a government-run thing (as least, that's what the "municipal" in its name suggests), surely any data it creates should be freely available? It seems strange that they should restrict the usage of it.
Still, it's nice to see SFMTA join the ranks of transit agencies who are making their data available under various non-payola licences, and also nice to have a way to get this data without screen-scraping NextBus.
