7 7  As requested by a number of developers on the {{html}}<a href="https://groups.google.com/group/mtadeveloperresources">MTA's Developer Resources list</a>{{/html}}, we have posted an extract of data archived by the MTA Bus Time system. This first extract contains historical records for the **B63** route in Brooklyn from April 3, 2011 through May 3, 2011. Each record in this data set contains, for a single bus, the time of observation, bus location, bus route, next stop, distance from that stop, and other variables described below.
