I tried to make a system to display real-time bus arrival information for Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, and despite attending city council meetings where they said they were "excited to work with the community" I was repeatedly blown off and eventually treated with hostility. I wish you better luck. |

I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience... The situation you describe is especially a concern to me. It is a risk to take since they might show excitement here-and-now, but fail to follow up later on (for whatever reasons).
How did you first start out though? Did you get the idea first and then pitch it to the city council or did they reach out first? I'd love to know more. :-)
And thanks for sharing your story, I'll definitely keep it in mind.
