7. APPLICATIONS BASED ON OPEN DATA
HELP IN EVERYDAY LIFE
The open event APIs of the
cities can be used freely in
e.g. event calendars, web
services and mobile
applications.
The city bike system in the
Helsinki metropolitan area
has been a huge success.
Opening the bike station
data for everyone quickly
led to the creation of a host
of city bike applications.
