[Open-transport] Open Transport Stream - OKFestival

Mon Mar 5 10:02:49 UTC 2012

Hi Daniel, all,

I fully agree, transport data is one of the most spectacular forms of
open data as you both have statical, dynamic and real-time data. If you
can open up transport data you can open up any kind of data ;)

On top of that there is a huge discussion on intermodal route planning
in the European Commission, while we're only at the beginning of
discovering the possible use cases. With iRail for example we're now
building a social website for sharing your commuting experience.

However I think its on us as working group to start planning if we wish to add something like a transport data track or a side event in another format (e.g. a hackathon or the like) to the OKFestival.
