[Open-transport] Ottawa transit developers site

Thu Mar 22 14:07:27 UTC 2012

The Ottawa, Ontario, Canada transit agency OC Transpo has launched its
developers site

http://www.octranspo1.com/developers

It has information about the bus schedule (GTFS) data as well as the
real-time arrival estimate (GPS location-based) API.  The license
provides for commercial and non-commercial use.

The transit agency was initially reluctant to provide developer access
to the real-time data, but civil society (Open Data Ottawa) worked
with the city government (Transit Commission) in order to make it
possible.
