The document outlines a manifesto for open transit data in India. It discusses the need for public transit users to access information about routes, schedules, costs and accessibility in order to better plan trips. The group proposes working with transit operators to define open data standards, collect schedule and geographic information, and build tools like trip planners. Their goal is to organize efforts to mandate that public agencies release transit data in open formats.
