Shared Ride Airport Reservations at Port Authority Airports, 2005 Onward

Quarterly data from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey details reservations for authorized multi-stop 'door-to-door' airport transportation services. The dataset reflects reservation counts, which are tracked separately from passenger numbers in the Ground Transportation Information System (GTIS). It covers operations at Port Authority airports beginning in 2005.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal trends in shared ride demand using the Month and Year columns.
• Compare reservation volumes across different Port Authority airports using the Airport column.
• Forecast future reservation counts using the Shared Ride Reservation column as a time series.
• Assess the impact of external events on airport ground transportation using the time-based columns.

Strengths

• Data is produced quarterly by an official transportation authority.
• Covers a long temporal range beginning in 2005.
• Includes a clear distinction between reservation and passenger counts as noted in the description.

Limitations

• The total number of rows and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Sample data is unavailable for preliminary review.
