The state of open data in Czech public transport

Despite EU-level initiatives, the availability and quality of open data on public transport differs wildly between member states. I'll talk about the situation in the Czech Republic from the perspective of someone who's been fighting for data availability for the last 5 years.

We'll focus mostly on timetables, briefly covering the history of the Czech Republic's centralised system, the current state of affairs after multiple lawsuits, and the (hopefully) rosy future. I'll also talk about other datasets, like real-time positions and train composition, and also about my experience trying to fit Czech data into existing open standards and software.
