Implement support for public transportation routing

Description
This one issue that has been itching me for a while. So, I have started looking at alternatives for providing support for this. I think OpenTripPlanner looks promising for providing this support. I have even started a little side-project for downloading GTFS feeds and updating a local OpenTripPlanner instance: https://github.com/mlundblad/otp-updater
Currently I'm running an instance with around 30 feeds (some large ones like the national Swedish and Dutch ones, Berlin, and some smaller ones). The OTP process is consuming around 6.3 GB RAM (this is idling, so I'm not sure how it performes under real load). Looking a bit at the REST API and playing with queries in the browser seems to indicate it would be feasable to implement routing support based on this.
