I've just started a site that aggregates open public transit data feeds. It lets you quickly see differences between feed versions, discover new feeds, and I'm working on APIs to easily bring in better real time data into apps http://transitfeeds.com

Interesting - I'm working in this area too; more on the consumption of transit feeds - have noticed in the UK at least that there are a ton of T&Cs thrown around these feeds, do you think you have any issues repackaging like this?

It's definitely on the todo list to categorically make sure I'm complying with each feed. I think the biggest thing I'll need to change is perhaps to not allow download the zip of the most recent feed.

Can you share what it is you're working on?

Visualizing crime of a city I am moving into: https://github.com/radekstepan/deadmonton GitHub Burndown Chart: https://github.com/radekstepan/github-burndown-chart

Cool map. Edmontonians don't generally like their city referred to as "Deadmonton". However, the nickname rings true on so many levels. Good luck with your move. Is it soon?

Thanks. Hmm the crime in your city is not that out of whack compared to the Canadian average. It actually made me feel safer about the city and will make house hunting easier.

The move shall be in about 10 months time. Am in the process of reviewing the different startups in the city currently. Are you involved in one?
