- The in-browser SQL console can query the tables; downloads include Parquet files and a DuckDB database.
Field notes
The homepage groups evaluations, proposals, trackers, and datasets, with separate links for methods, downloads, and a browser SQL console. It names four public data sources and says it is independent of the MTA. The site reports, for example, that bus-camera tickets per bus-hour fell about 40% within a year, while buses did not measurably speed up; its documentation links are provided for sources, methods, and caveats.
