10. “WhichBus is a great example of what open
government data can do in the hands of a talented
team of developers. I’m proud that Startup
Weekend GOV and the Evergreen Apps contest
were able to provide the seed funding that allowed
them to reach this point, and I wish them the best of
luck going forward.”
