SEPTA Releases Its Data, Sort of...

tags:

UPDATE: Scooped by Technically Phily ...

If you've ever ridden SEPTA you've known of some if it's archaic practices. There are too many to get into, but one of the biggest ones, the refusal to give the public any kind of useful data may soon be changing.

For the last couple of years the folks at ISepta have had to scrape html pages in order to give their transit times. Though SEPTA hasn't released even static html pages for their buses. As Robert at Avencia has noted many other cities including DC have made their data available to google. Currently if you google directions from 30th street station to city hall you'll get directed to take patco to new jersey and then back again.

Well that seems to be changing with the release of: http://www2.septa.org/developer/index.php which includes a couple of bus routes and times in googles gtfs format. Scuttlebut is that SEPTA could fully release bus, trolley, and train data in the Fall.

I'll keep you posted...
