MBTA third-party software contest
Jimmy
EOT, where the developer who writes the best third-party transit
software application will receive a year of free passes from the T.
The event's website is http://www.eot.state.ma.us/developers/ .
http://www.eot.state.ma.us/developers/default.asp?pgid=content/developer_VizChallenge&sid=about
is for the contest category of visualizing a day's worth of card and
ticket swipes. It includes complete swipe data for subways and buses
for two weekdays, one in summer and one in fall.
The bus files look like they lack cash-on-board transactions. And the
bus route codes are a bit cryptic. It looks like many of them include
suffixes to denote short-turns or variations, and some are totally
incomprehensible ("8120") and probably refer to the surface Green Line
or Silver Line.

If you were a member of the Boston Street Railway Association,
http://www.thebsra.org
you would get the magazine that, once a year, has vehicle listings and
a chart of all those codes.
