Some of the P-ton area relevant public transport is not effectively and openly published!

For example, using route planning services such as Google maps (presumably also Bing etc.) does not show the 100 Coach USA bus to New Brunswick/NYC. Why?! lets fix this.

Publishing public transport is generally done using GTFS formats, some links about this below.

Electricity Data & Gas Data
​- Industrial category is not "true" industrial and can be considered Commercial

• Classification of Industrial is based on SIC code
• includes Princeton University property in the Commercial category
• kWh & Therms are billing information and not actual usage – In the vast majority of cases they are one and the same but they will be instances either because of an estimated bill or a corrected bill where they can be different. This explains negative values in kWh & Therms.
• PSEG can provide data in excel on a Quarterly basis
• No limitations on use of data as it is in aggregate
• Meter to resident or commercial is roughly 1:1
• Data needs to be weather normalized using heating and cooling degree data for the area
• Princeton Hospital closed and moved to Plainsboro on May 23rd 2012 so likely explains drop in Borough Commercial usage
• Princeton Township and Borough consolidated into the Princeton Municipality on January 1st, 2013 but PSEG still records usage separately
• PSEG maintains some streetlights in Princeton but not all. It needs to be determined if the streetlight data is only PSEG owned & maintained. The remaining streetlights are owned and maintained by the Municipality and included in their bill
