At least some of the data that Google is using doesn't look like it's from GTFS, for example the TTC streetcar loops are found on the transit overlay, I wouldn't expect them to be from GTFS. I could be wrong, but I suspect the data is coming from another source.
Google only accepts transit data in GTFS format for integration with Google Maps. Transit authorities are required to upload a zip file of the files about 2 weeks before the changes come into effect. Real-time location is done by GTFS-RT.
