What data is expected?
Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category.

Details
Timetable data for all public transportation services are collected by non-profit organization (possibly other organizations too) by agreement with government and transportation operators. It is publicly available in form suitable for printing (PDF), or in machine readable form as paid service. Some operators consider their timetable data as trade secret - particularly crazy idea for many. Specifically, national level train transportation timetable information is available at http://217.12.48.27/elis/default.aspx (linked from http://www.zsr.sk/). This data is not machine readable and is not available in bulk.
