Microsoft Launches Black Marble and TfGM Case Study as part of their CityNext Campaign

July 2, 2013

Greater Manchester wanted to improve its transportation services by creating mobile device apps that travellers could use to better plan, manage, and enjoy their journeys. Transport for Greater Manchester decided to make its data publicly available and Black Marble used Windows Azure to create and host a real-time open data platform. Third-party developers are using this platform to create a wide range of apps that make it easier and more enjoyable to use Greater Manchester’s public transport network.
