Are you saying that you are aware SFMTA is publishing arrival time information in GTFS, but are not aware what you're publishing isn't realtime predictions using NextBus data?
While it should be obvious that Google Transit's predictions are based on data in the Google Trasnit Feed Specification, just in case it's actually spelled out right there:
"stops_times.txt | Lists the times that a vehicle arrives at and departs from individual stops for each trip."
By publishing out of data schedule information, you are not providing "accurate information" to users of Google Transit and any other app which uses SFMTA's GTFS feed information, this includes the iPhone as well.
Realtime data is at http://www.datasf.org/story.php?title=nextmuni-xml-data

I'd like to see a real time dataset which describes the current state of all vehicles in the form of:
(veh_number, line_number, direction, last_stop, xpos, ypos)
It would be nice to query using line_number and direction to prune the response.
Cheers,
