Nice overview! 😍
Would it be an idea to ask the maintainers of the feeds to add high level area IDs e.g. the stable identifiers from https://www.whosonfirst.org/?
Doing so would allow us to auto-generate a coverage map (separated by continent, country static, real-rime,...)
Right, we still need a way to get to reliable machine-readable coverage data (see also https://github.com/public-transport/transport-apis/pull/75), in terms of area, quality and completeness. Some of this might be derivable automatically from the feed data, but at least completeness needs human assessment I think.
This ticket was more meant as a todo list for which countries we still have to search for data.
I have other ~10 feeds for Italy that I know of (probably many others are available) but they all have (different) issues, so I'm not adding them yet
Liechtenstein is mostly included in the Swiss data, but we are missing at least ons cable car line that has data :D
Maybe Åland should be counted separatly?
In GNOME Maps we currently support Finland via the OpenTripPlanner API provided by Digitransit, but it doesn't include Åland (which is autonomous, so I imagine they would supply their own feed(s).
And I'm assuming it is similar for the Farao islands (fo), I'm guessing it's not included in the Danish national data.

Yep, that doesn't seem to be included elsewhere indeed. There's local bus service there by https://alandstrafiken.ax, but I can't find a GTFS feed for those. http://gtfs.lautta.net seems to provide a feed for ferries going there at least though.

Yep. There seems to be a local bus service, but unfortunately I can't seem to find much information about that.
Data for Hungarian Railways is available here: https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en/gtfs-request, but it requires sign up, including a postal address. Possibly we can ask an adjacent organization (KDE e.V?) to do this for us.
FYI, there are some places missing from this list such as: Belarus, Kosovo, Russia, Svalbard, Transnistria, and Ukraine.
It seems Kosovo and Transnistria both do have railway companies but I am unsure if those companies publish any GTFS data. Likewise Svalbard has a service called "Svalbard Bus and Taxi".
Austria has a bunch of data available here: https://data.mobilitaetsverbuende.at/en/data-sets But requires sign-up and some accepting some license. But with that the coverage might/should be relatively complete.
I've checked before and real-time data for Vienna with the Wiener Linien (subways etc) doesn't seem to be available in a standard format, just via their custom API. https://www.data.gv.at/katalog/dataset/522d3045-0b37-48d0-b868-57c99726b1c4#resources
I added Prague (PID) in #208
Szechia: Brno and Liberec: #224
I don't know if Turkey/Türkiye is in scope but Istanbul seems to have some GTFS feeds here: https://data.ibb.gov.tr/en/dataset/public-transport-gtfs-data The description says last updated 2018/2019 but on the right side right now it says

So I believe they're up-to-date?
There's also this other feed with a few more lines I believe? https://data.ibb.gov.tr/en/dataset/iett-gtfs-verisi
Unfortunately for the TCDD (Turkish railways) I couldn't find any feed.
In general everything is in scope, IMO it also makes sense to track it here
