Passenger Alightings By Stop And Quarter Hour For May 2017

Average passenger alightings data for May 2017, broken down by stop and quarter-hour intervals. The dataset was sourced from the MyWay ticketing system and published by the ACT Government Open Data. It excludes alightings on dedicated school routes.

Use Cases

• Analyze alightings by quarter-hour intervals to identify peak and off-peak passenger demand patterns at specific stops.
• Model stop-level passenger alightings based on time-of-day to optimize public transport scheduling and resource allocation.
• Compare average alightings across different stops to assess relative usage and inform infrastructure planning.

Strengths

• Data sourced from the MyWay ticketing system, which records passenger validations and cash sales.
• Provides temporal granularity with breakdowns by quarter-hour intervals.
• Excludes dedicated school routes, focusing on general scheduled service patronage.

Limitations

• Limited temporal coverage to a single month (May 2017), restricting longitudinal analysis.
