Simon Chandler, Forbes; UK Government Plans To Open Public Transport Data To Third Parties
"The launch is a significant victory for big data. Occasionally derided as a faddish megatrend or empty buzzword,
the announcement of the Bus Open Data Service shows that national
governments are willing to harness masses of data and use them to create
new services and economic opportunities. Similarly, it's also a victory
for the internet of things, insofar as real-time data from buses will
be involved in providing users with up-to-date travel info.
That said, the involvement of big data inevitably invites fears surrounding privacy and surveillance."
