Experience
Bixi Montreal
BIXI Montréal is a public bicycle sharing system serving Montréal, Quebec, Canada.
It was required to provide insights about user behavior and peek usage. This analysis helped to optimize the bike availability and service in the city.
These are some points that were addressed:
- At what moment we have the highest number of rides? (season, day of the week, time)
- What are the busiest bike stations?
- What are the most common starting and destination area? (popular routes)
- Behavior difference between user members and non-members. Route duration and user speed.
