That was one of the questions I asked Lisa Farbstein. She did not answer it. Here were my questions:

  • Did WMATA ask NextBus to remove the publicly accessible test? Or did NextBus do that of its own accord?

  • Did WMATA ask NCH to remove the comment from NextBus, or ask NextBus to make that request of NCH? Or did NextBus do this?

  • If WMATA instigated either of the above, what was the reason?

  • Is there a new location to access the test data online?

  • If there is a new location, does WMATA have any objection to people knowing about and using it before it is officially released?

She only replied with the statement I quoted in the article. If there were a contractual reason, she could have answered that to the third question.

I will follow up and ask specifically. Also, I just found out that NextBus may be a topic of discussion at tomorrow's RAC meeting (whose agenda I just got minutes ago). If so, I will ask about this then as well.
