Hi all,

Here's a great project in the UK demonstrating what would be possible
if public transit data were liberated.

As some of you know, I've been trying to get my city of Halifax (NS)
to release bus stop locations and schedules, which they refuse to do.
While most Canadian cities will share *some* data, none that I know of
will share everything that is needed to make these travel-time maps.

Daniel.

The ever-gifted Chris Lightfoot has been writing code to scrape
journey planner websites, producing "a solution to Laplace's equation,
fixing its value to the value of the travel-time on the boundary of
its domain", and drinking coffee all in order to produce these
fascinating maps for your delectation:

Hope you like.
