Hi all. I am a traffic engineer and currently I am doing a study for
public transportation in my city. It is so lucky that my city has the
public transportation informations made into google transit feed
files. I have already downloaded the files. Those are very useful
informations. However I am not sure how to use them for my job. I need
to display all bus routes (in different colours), bus stops and fares
on the google map. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thank you.

If you use the feed validator tool, it will make a nice plot of all
the bus stops as waypoints in a Google Maps widget. Not sure about
bus routes though. GTFS allows specifying custom path colors in the
database with the "route_color" column and for the text with the
"route_text_color" column.
