"Thanks for the email. I'm glad you found the MassDOT Developers Page.
We will not be issuing an RFP for MBTA data -- the data will be released
freely to any developer who wishes to access it. The MBTA's new General
Manager, Rich Davey, has committed to making location data available for
the entire bus system by the end of the summer. Once that data is made
available on the Developers Page, we would strongly encourage you to
build an app for the 77 bus line!"
