Does anyone have the NYC Borough's Bus Maps that will present the following way in Google Maps? (please see attached)

Also, I cannot even find them in GPX. - CSV. - XLSX or KML file formats?

Does anyone have the map layer for this?  I know Buses is a completely different agency than Subways, but has anyone mapped it out for this purpose?

I would be very grateful for anyone's help with this.

Thanks, Kenneth Cybulska

The gtfs static schedules include a shapes.txt file, as per the gtfs specs. There may be an application to convert the shapes file into a gis file format. I've found it easier to just include the conversion as part of larger programs.

You should also include the static data from the MTA Bus Company. 
Their URL on the transit feeds website is:

I don't follow you.. what do you mean?  Are you saying there may be an application that can convert the formats that ARE available into a 'shape' type layer?  

Please advise.  Thx.

That is exactly what Praveen is saying. GTFS shapes.txt to GEO-friendly format (GIS, KMP, SHP, Geojson, etc) conversion exists.

correction to my earlier post -- original code for GTFS-route-shapes is here. i'm sure there are many others, this one converts and entire routes.txt into a single GeoJSON file. see the repo for use cases.
