Subject: Requesting Public Consultation for Draft Open Data Policy
Dear Dr. Caur,

We the undersigned are very happy to learn that BMTC is in the process of drafting an open
data policy, specifically addressing the new system of data generation and management that
has been implemented as part of the Intelligent Transport System project, and also data
collected through other systems and in other forms. We congratulate this most innovative and
pioneering effort of BMTC.
This is to humbly request BMTC to kindly organise a public consultation process for the draft
open data policy, so that the various researchers and open data experts (including those of us
involved with DataMeet) can read and share constructive comments on the draft open data
policy.
We look forward to a productive engagement with BMTC on the open data policy as well as its
implementation. It will be our great pleasure to support the open data efforts of BMTC in all
manners possible.
Sincerely,
1.
