Transit databases available with Sendero GPS 2010 products ...
GPS systems wouldn't be very interesting without data content. Most systems contain street map data for major countries. The number of businesses varies however a lot from system to system. I believe the more data the better, especially for blind users who can't see the print signs on businesses or on bus shelters.
This is why, as part of a Small Business grant, Sendero has been working to format the Google Transit Feed Specification data, GTFS, which has well over 100 databases of city transit stops in North America and a few other countries. GTFS provides a common format, which makes importing these diverse databases possible. So far, 43 of the 130 databases are available on 2010 Sendero GPS products and the remainder will be addressed on a user request basis. If you are using one of the Sendero GPS products and would like your local transit stop database made available, check the lists below. If it is listed in the first list, you can download it using your account. If it is in the second list, email GPS@ with your request. If it isn’t in either list, see the section about encouraging your transit company to provide their data to GTFS.
With this data, the user can find the exact locations of bus and light rail stops around the city. You can hear the bus numbers at that location and other relevant information about that stop or shelter. One of the best databases to check out if there isn't one in your city, is the Portland Oregon TriMet system.

Encouraging Transit Companies to participate in Google Transit Feed Spec
The bottom line is that once your data is in the GTFS, it will increase ridership.
More riders = more revenue.
When you approach your transit company, let them know that participation can benefit your agency by ():
* Raising awareness of public transportation to attract new riders
* Helping seasoned riders discover new routes to maximize the your infrastructure investment
* Linking to your agency website to increase rider awareness
* Connecting neighboring agencies' data to improve inter-agency connectivity
* Decreasing traffic congestion and environmental effects while increasing mobility
* Providing trip planning on both desktop and mobile devices
* Doing it all for free -- all you have to do is share your data
Visual slideshow, How Online Information Can Improve Carfree Mobility by Bibiana McHugh, outlines the benefits on including your data in GTFS:
