The public transit routes are there, but not the timetables. To my understanding, those wouldn't be a good fit with OSM's goals / being a geo information system. Basically third party client apps will have to combine that kind of info from different sources.

Check out https://docs.opentripplanner.org/en/latest/Deployments/ für example

This years budget of the foundation is GBP 651.900,00. So this will help them a lot.

I don't think that the goal is for Germany to fund the entire project, but it helps. Other parties can also chip in.

I don't think OSM is paying coastal US corporate salaries lol

OSM is a wonderful project and something I support.

Help out by mapping your local area with the StreetComplete app. It's like PokemonGo, but actually helpful.
