Nice :D The contest is interesting but the prizes are not particularly encouraging. XD XXX euros for the best Philippines Transit app and a nomination to the Mobile Premier Awards 2014, taking place in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress! Will you be setting up a team? **

RK, Not sure how much exactly is the prize. No I won't be organizing a team. But I'm very interested on the possibilities of opening access to the govt transport data (gtfs, routes, real time traffic of cebu and mmda). Maning Sambale (mobile) On Jun 22, 2013 10:14 AM, RK rk.ara...@gmail.com

Maning, Awww... I do hope they'll expand to the rest of the country soon. Kinda put off by the name, Philippine Transit Information Service, when it really just covers Metro Manila. That said, it's great that the government is opening up transit data for public use. On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 10:56
