Google doesn't actually have this data
themselves. They are hosting the databases from
any transit company that wants to post the data
with them. Sendero is collecting those database
downloads and making them available to you.
As far as UK map accuracy, it is hard to
generalize. Like the U.S., the data is very good
in most places, mediocre in a few places and
lousy here and there. The good news is that the data is always getting
better.
