ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(04-15-2021, 11:23 AM)Bytor Wrote: This made from the data that GRT finally handed over a few months ago, containing per-route monthly numbers for riders & boardings for January, 2016 to December, 2020.

Based on discussion with Blair Allen who indicated that GRT boardingss on Saturdays are usually two-thirds of a weekday and Sundays are half, the weekday boardings is calculated from the monthly number as

Code:
weekday_boardings = monthly_boardings / (weekdays + saturdays*0.67 + sundays*0.5)

Wow. Not hard to tell that ridership fell off a cliff after March 2020. (Coincidentally, that was the last month that I bought a monthly pass myself).

I would be interested in seeing this chart again next year once we reach heard immunity and things return to "normal"
