Light Rail Passenger Boardings at 15-Minute Intervals

Light Rail Patronage data records passenger boardings in 15-minute intervals from 00:00-00:14 to 23:45-23:59. The dataset includes both MyWay and paper ticket boardings, aggregated from ACT Government Open Data. Final numbers may take up to three days to process for accurate reporting.
