The T-alerts data isn't really formatted to be used with the commuter rail data. It would be nice if the names for the commuter rail stations (at least) in the t-alerts data would be exactly equal to the names in the commuter rail data. Right now the developer needs to go over every line manually to integrate t-alerts with other live data, which is a slow and errorprone process.

It would also be nice if all data were machine readable (ie, csv, XML, json as opposed to zip or xlsx). Specifically, the t-alerts data which shows what route goes to what RSS feed is a csv file in a zip file, and the commuter rail data is an xlsx file.
