Winnipeg Transit Bus Passenger Pass-Up Records

Records detail when buses are too full to board passengers or cannot accommodate wheelchair users, logged via onboard computer. Data is updated daily by Winnipeg Transit. The location logged corresponds to the bus's position when the operator pressed the button, which may not exactly match the bus stop.

Use Cases

• Identify high-demand routes prone to overcrowding by analyzing frequency of 'Pass-Up Type' events aggregated by 'Route Number'.
• Assess wheelchair accessibility issues by filtering records where 'Pass-Up Type' indicates a wheelchair-related pass-up.
• Analyze temporal patterns of service failures by examining the 'Time' column for daily or hourly trends.
• Map service coverage gaps by visualizing 'Location' data alongside 'Neighborhoods' or 'Wards'.
• Correlate pass-up events with specific trip destinations using the 'Route Destination' field.

Strengths

• Data is updated daily, providing near real-time operational insight.
• Includes specific categorization of pass-up causes via the 'Pass-Up Type' column.
• Geographic context is provided through multiple location columns like 'Location', 'Neighborhoods', and 'Wards'.

Limitations

• Recorded 'Location' may not precisely match the actual bus stop where the pass-up occurred.
• Unknown total row count and historical coverage limits trend analysis.
• Data scope is limited to Winnipeg Transit's bus network.
