This is a listing of bike share open data best practices and desires. To improve this page, research other Bike Share Data Systems and integrate insights into this page. Don't forget to cite which cities are leading the way. If you are interested in looking at a sample bike share data schema, visit Bike Share Open Data Schema.

Currently, the bill asks for...

When it should take affect

  • 90 Days, with 90 Days after 1 Jan 2014 being the first day data is required to be published.

Frequency of Data Refresh

  • Quarterly

Format of the data

  • a commonly available non-proprietary format or spreadsheet format that is suitable for analysis

Trip Duration Data

  • start date and time,
  • end date and time
  • start station
  • end station,
  • bike number
  • membership type

The bill should be asking for...

First...

The bill shouldn't legislate specific formats. The bill should bring CitiBike Data (Availability, Performance, Usage, and Historical) into line with the City's existing open data law, NYC Local Law 11 of 2012.

When it should take affect

  • Law should take effective immediately. Within 30 days of passing, the first disclosure of data (a subset of data should be prioritized). Within 90 Days of passing, all data should be available in download. Within 120 days, implementation of an API. If these deadlines are unachievable, a report must tell the public a timeline for access to this data.
