[Okfn-hk] Hong Kong transit open data

Mon Apr 7 02:55:04 UTC 2014

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this...

I work for a company in London called Citymapper. We built apps for helping
people navigate complex cities. We're currently in London, New York, Paris
and Berlin.

Something we rely on a lot is open data, we use a lot of information from
transit agencies like TfL and the MTA and combine it with things like Open
Street Maps to build a best in class routing system.

I am in Hong Kong for a week, researching the feasibility of bringing
Citymapper here and it'd be great if you could point me in the direction of
people who I might find helpful.

If you want to read more about Citymapper, here are some good articles to
read...

If you want to try the app out, you can find it in the iOS and android app
stores, and also on the web at http://citymapper.com

Thanks,
Saral
