NYC MTA developer section & website launch

[Jehiah Czebotar]

NYC MTA has finally made good on it's September 2008 promise to
release schedule data to developers.

They have released GTFS data for MTA NYC Transit (bus + subways), Long
Island Railroad, Metro North, and Long Island Bus.

This is a big improvement from last fall when the MTA was handing out
legal threats and bullying myself and another developer for using
schedule data we collected ourselves.

They also just launched their new website redesign http://mta.info/

(And for the record, here is where they promised this data to
developers http://www.mta.info/mta/news/releases/?en=080923-HQ34)

Hahaha. and to think I had to sue the MTA 18 months ago to get this. This is obviously great news if they follow through

Great job.  I hope the letter from Council Member Gale Brewer helped.
