Australian Bus Crowding During 2016 PM Peak Hours

Infrastructure Australia's 2019 Audit includes geospatial data on average weekday bus crowding during the PM peak period from 4pm to 6pm in 2016. The data represent transport performance for strategic modelling, with network links below daily volume thresholds excluded. It was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Modeling public transport network performance based on PM peak crowding data.
• Identifying high-congestion bus corridors based on average weekday volumes.
• Strategic infrastructure planning based on data from a national infrastructure audit.

Strengths

• Data is part of a formal national infrastructure audit by Infrastructure Australia.
• Focuses on a specific, high-impact time period (PM peak, 4-6pm).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (WMS, SHP, GEOJSON, WFS).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or network bias inherent to the source and its volume thresholds.
