Launching the Open Transport website

Today I have launched the website for Open Transport:
https://opentransport.co.uk/

This website explains the aim of creating an online account open data standard across the transport industry.

I have seen the start of the benefits that Open Banking has has in the Financial Services industry and I think the same thing needs to happen for the transit and transportation industry in Scotland, The UK, Europe and wider afield.

Perhaps this standard may even be adopted in other industries too.. perhaps the travel one.
(Can you imagine the possible benefits of all airlines being able to link their accounts, so that a customer could use just one login to manage all their details and see the data about their flights on different carriers?)
