            Terrific StreetFilms video shows concretely what happened
            when Boston's MBTA released real-time transit data:

            1 hour: Real-time bus locations on Google Earth.
            2 days: T riders can track bus locations via desktop.
            1 wk: A desktop widget w/ countdown info.
            2 wks: More new web apps.
            1 month: LED countdown sign w/ real-time bus info.
            5 wks: Android & iPhone apps.
            7 wks: System that delivers real-time data to any phone.
