IMO it deliberately establishes a tone. This challenge is for rail fans, it’s not a generalised “use our API” hackathon type thing.

Plus the MTA has a huge budget crunch. I really don’t think they could justify spending money on something with such an unclear outcome.

Even still it probably cost tens of thousands of dollars of staff time.
