They also advertise this fact publicly on the subway cars!

I hope this is the start of a larger trend for municipal databases. Cities could benefit tremendously by allowing private developers to work with their data and create apps that people actually want to use.

Im involved in NYC BigApps (ChallengePost powers it). As far as I know, BigApps is not being advertised on subway cars.

You may be thinking of the MTA's ad "Our apps our whiz kid certified" http://ron.gejman.com/blog/2010/12/20/our-app-are-whiz-kid-c...

That is what I was thinking of, thank you. Sorry for the mixup!
