Tomorrow we are meeting with BBPV to discuss a Open data strategy for BMTC.
Please attend if you can. Bengaluru Bus Prayanikara Vedike invites you to *Open Data for Public Engagement* at the Alternative Law Forum, on May 7th, 2016 (Saturday) at 5 pm Open Bangalore <http://openbangalore.org/> has been a pioneer in opening up several data sets that help understand the city of Bangalore. This includes the network of Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) <http://mybmtc.com/>. The maps made it evident that we were working with data that was not in line with the current nature of services operated by BMTC. Such graphics and maps sometimes show how little we know about our own infrastructure and the limited ways that exist to have a meaningful conversation about it. How can groups like DataMeet, BBPV and other civil society groups come together to work on various kinds of data-driven stories that explore several issues plaguing the public transport in the city?
