Very cool!

Has anyone tried this yet?

And was wondering where this would work, is there a list of places that are supported?

I might poke around more later, it's a bit more involved than toggling a setting for the time being

Isn't one hurdle to integrate gtfs data into osm based apps the fact that there is no reliable way to link osm nodes with gtfs nodes? How did they get around that?

Does this mean that access to real time arrival data is on the horizon for osm based apps?

Edit: It appears that a lot has happened since I last checked, how cool!

Yay this has been a big issue when it comes to google maps parity.

@otter @openstreetmap

So they haven't announced a change or anything?

You have (supposedly) been able to create your own public transport files for ages.
