BART - The Real BART API (beta)

I'm always surprised when new APIs are released using XML. JSON is easier to produce and consume, so why's it taking so long to become standard?

The irony about BART is I once randomly met the guy who does their software (.Net). He doesn't even use BART; he works from his office in Portland, OR!

That's a surprisingly open approach from a governmental agency. Most similar efforts seem half-hearted at best. I wonder what makes them different.

Let the race for the iPhone app commence!

I'm assuming that there's a set of functions for shooting innocent but rowdy civilians in the back, while they're handcuffed and on the ground face-down?
