The MTA Data Challenge “…invites community members, developers, and data enthusiasts to harness the power of MTA’s open data. Participants will develop a project that creatively utilizes at least one MTA open dataset.”
For my submission, I wrote and illustrated a zine on some subway ridership behaviors. You can view the analysis here .
Some notes on the analysis
I was exploring some other ideas, but unfortunately ran out of time. Some of the questions I’d liked to have answered include:
- How does ridership change during sports events?
- Can you find cool neighborhoods based on Friday night destination trends?
- How does ridership change during parades and events?
If you’re interested in exploring those please do!
