The Region has found this to be a double-edged sword, as every single delay would be able to be tracked in real time by any interested member of the public and the statistics generated be presented without bias or staff involvement. This potential accountability is giving them pause, in the truest sense.
The easyGo mobile app launched one year ago. In the consultations of fall 2014, they talked about wanting to withhold access to the real time data from third party developers "for a few months", in order to sort these concerns out.
One year later, still no official access. I don't know about you, but I'm done making excuses for them. They're talking a lot about open data and it's time to walk that talk.
