The Fight to Free Subway Data
Posted on October 18th, 2009 by Derek Bambauer
Chris Schoenfeld of StationStops has a post up about his battle to get the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority to let him use its schedule data in his iPhone app. Brooklyn’s Law Incubator and Policy Clinic (BLIP) played a big role in Chris’s successful battle, and I’m very proud of the work that the BLIP students and their mentor, Professor Jonathan Askin, did here. It’s a great example of how law students can translate their classroom learning into helping clients in the Web 2.0 world.
