weird city support, austin before seattle... I guess perhaps the data is of different ease to consume, but I'm pretty sure Seattle is a substantially more transit using city than Austin. (Having lived in Seattle).

Perhaps just canadian myopia? (as a fellow canuk)

Haha, yeah probably canadian myopia. I think it's because we had a couple requests for Austin a while ago so we decided to do it. But with all the requests we're getting now, it's much more clear which cities need to be added next (Seattle, Washington DC, L.A., Portland).

Austin is hipster central-its where all the young RoR and JS devs go to do startups during SXSW. Don't know what that has to do with transit, and I'm pretty sure Seattle has more transit than Austin. Oh well, that's the problem with crowdsourcing.
