[Brendan Nee]

This morning at DataCamp SF (hashtag #cadata) MUNI announced that
mextMUNI real time vehicle prediction data is now available in XML via
a RESTful interface.

Now that's a step into a direction that many will applaud.

Comment: It appears to me it would make a lot of sense to roll the
vehicle location information directly into the predictions. The
current separation of predictions and vehicle locations means that
either predictions, or vehicle locations, can be displayed, but not
both in an integrated way. This appears somewhat limiting.
