On: FOILing NYC’s Taxi Trip Data

Wow, I'm impressed with the responsiveness. It could be better, but honestly, if the other municipalities in New York state were up to at least this standard, I'd be very happy. In my experience, however, FOIL requests are often delayed, "forgotten", or ridiculously stored (on reams of paper, in ancient data formats, etc).

Processing issues are usually only a problem if the information implicates the government in criminal activity.
