I am not sure what is the correct forum to report this on, but this was linked from VTA's open data page, so I hope this is right. I'm a PhD student at UC Berkeley, and I'm generating location traces from OSM data (see https://github.com/e-mission/e-mission-eval-public-data for more details)
There does not appear to be a relation for the 181 from Warm Springs <-> San Jose. The bus stop (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6410476639) is not part of any public transit relation
Way West El Camino Real (516422275) as forward
Way Castro Street (417101895) as forward
Way North El Monte Avenue (52869637) as forward
which is clearly incorrect since the 52 goes from Castro to El Monte via El Camino
To be more exact it is one of the core data elements that consists of one or more tags and also an ordered list of one or more nodes, ways and/or relations as members which is used to define logical or geographic relationships between other elements.
I can try to fix these piecemeal, but since it looks like somebody at VTA is maintaining these relations (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8094017 was edited 10 days ago), it seems like having you make a more comprehensive fix is likely to result in more accurate values.

For public transport data, I allow users to specify a "relation" and then I walk that relation to generate the lat, lon points using a script ported from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Relations_to_GPX
However, this works fine for BART (https://openstreetmap.org/relation/2851613), Caltrain (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9605484) and even AC Transit (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2630160), but almost every VTA relation I have looked at has had some problems.
