Of course, #OCTranspo could open up the GPS data and just make a better app, but competition would go against their business model.

Please to hear some sense on the #opendata #OCTranspo issue coming from @marianne4kanata

If Mercier thinks it's costly for #octranspo to support extern developers, what's he think supporting multi-platform apps inhouse will cost?

#octranspo users could have had a GPS app 9mos ago. They've already lost more than ad revenue. @opendataottawa

Another way for #octranspo to raise $1.3M: increase ridership by 0.5%. Fulfilling their mission, instead of voodoo accounting tricks.

For #octranspo to be competitive, I need to know what the ETA is. For my bike and car, that ETA is in 0 mins.

Isn't #OCTranspo GPS data that we all paid for? http://cot.ag/zSc2OP. Why not make all #OTTCITY operational information open source? #YOW

Oh puh-leeze! #octranspo OC Transpo doesn’t want to release live data, commission told. Ottawa Citizen http://bit.ly/AzhQMu

“@metroottawa: Isn't #OCTranspo GPS data that we all paid for? http://cot.ag/zSc2OP” What a joke. Those excuses are hilarious

@JimWatsonOttawa #opendata shouldn't be about revenue. Support releasing #OCTranspo info for nextbus capabilities

#octranspo spending 500G to see if they can earn 1 million (-500G in development costs) While we continue to freeze waiting for the bus.

As a judge in the #ottawa #opendata contest last year - I'm embarrassed at the behaviour of #octranspo http://www.ottawacitizen.com/technology/Transpo+doesn+want+release+live+data+commission+told/6014107/story.html

#OCTranspo withholding public transit GPS info, Mercier should be put off at next stop @Ottawalabour #ottcity http://shar.es/WVEYP

. @OC_Transpo the only thing I want you to sell me is a ride across town. Don't push ads on my phone! #OttCity #OCTranspo

Free the OCTranspo GPS data! #FreetheOCTranspoGPSdata #OCTranspo @MathieuFleury

#CityOfOttawa is going the WRONG way with their #OpenData by withholding real-time #OCtranspo bus data and selling their own app

Free the data #occupy #octranspo

#OCTranspo doesn’t want to release live data in favor of $ and because "some apps were lousy" #peopledontuselousyapps http://ow.ly/8Ag08

Dear @oc_transpo #opendata is smarter from a revenue perspective. Pls read & smarten up. http://ow.ly/1EgB8l @DBast @scilib @edwardog

@JimWatsonOttawa Why is @OC_Transpo GPS data being held hostage? What about Ottawa's Open Data policy? Please release this data ASAP.

Is it me or does @OC_Transpo purposely do things to piss everyone off? Why delay releasing data the taxpayer has paid for?

There are some good ideas for open OC Transpo GPS data in that video. And some are "interesting".

@PierreNick There are ways to fund transit, I don't think that selling access to GPS Data should be one of them.
