In Germany some public transport networks have their own apps, Maps always used to be the worst option to plan public transport in Berlin for example. So it should be possible, in theory

People living in Berlin and using opensource should request their public transport authorities to share the data with openstreet maps. I bet public transport schedules can be embedded into it.

If you live in Germany, @ them somewhere or send them an email. The more people do it, the more they'll find it important. If you are in a Berlin community, ask them to join in. A single @ or email won't convince them, but it's a start.

In Germany DB Navigator is always better than Google Maps for public transport
