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
Transportation data is available from the US Department of Transportation at http://www.data.gov/list/agency/35/* and more at the Data.gov Safety community at http://safety.data.gov. This includes transportation venues, locations, safety records, on-time arrivals, etc. http://data.gov However this question is about national bus and train timetables which are harder to find. There is also a question as to whether in the US national bus and train are in fact government or privately run.
