The world is so full of data which updates in real-time. I hope Firebase focuses on publishing more data representing things in the real world that people can build on (using their API's, of course).
This is absolutely incredible! If I were going to an open hackathon this weekend, this on top of Firebase seems like such a great place to start.
One small typo, if the Firebase team is reading, "College Park, MA" should be "College Park, MD" (Maryland, not Massachusetts)

Whoops, thanks. Will push out a change soon!
This is really cool. With companies like Firebase, Layer, Parse (and many more that I can't remember right now), it is becoming incredibly easy to build awesome (complex) services in a matter of hours. Now imagine all this as the base and it will be really interesting to see what people are going to come up with.
Great job!
Great job!
For Bronx, NY what's the difference between using MTA's Bustime and Firebase's API? http://bustime.mta.info/
It would be nice to have a JSON dump of all the Bronx bus data for the past week or even longer. Right now MTA shares historical data for one bus route over the course of 1 month in 2011. http://bustime.mta.info/wiki/Developers/ArchiveData

This is amazing! Props to the team at Firebase for putting this out there!
The transit data listed for Cambridge, MA also includes data for another city a little south of Cambridge. It has a funny name - spelled Boston but I think it is pronounced like Bahstin.
Really cool. Would be nice to see firebase include way more of these types of sets (stocks, sports scores, trending news etc.).
I need hipaa compliance so firebase doesn't work for my use cases, but have enjoyed the times I've played with it.
