Island Wide Distribution

Distance Travelled

Adult Elderly Student
Average Distance (km) 4.38 km 4.50 km 3.62 km
Median Distance (km) 2.70 km 2.80 km 2.30 km
Distance Decay Index 4.38 4.50 3.62

Adult

The average distance travelled for a bus ride is 4.38km. The distribution of the distance travelled for adult is right-skewed reflecting that most adult travel short distances. Furthermore, 50% of the journeys made cover up to 2.7km.


Elderly

The distribution for elderly data is very similar to the adult data. The average distance travelled for elderly is 4.5km. The right-skewed distribution shows that most elderly travel shorter distances and 50% of the trips made cover up to 2.8km.


Student

However, unlike the adult and elderly, the distribution for distance travelled for students is right-skewed and 50% of the trips made are less than 2.3km. On average, the distance travelled by students is 3.6km with a distance decay index of 3.6 after taking into account all the purpose of their journey.


Time Taken

Adult Elderly Student
Average Time Taken (mins) 14.50 mins 15.43 mins 12.74 mins
Median Time Taken (mins) 10.43 mins 10.82 mins 9.45 mins


Adult

CommuteThere 612 1.png

The distribution for travelling time is right skewed and is in line with the distribution for distance travelled where most adults travel for a shorter time period. The average travelling time for a commuter is 14.5 minutes and 50% of the journeys took at 10.433 minutes.


Elderly

CommuteThere 612 2.png

Similar to the distribution of travelling time for adult, the distribution for elderly is also right skewed. The average time taken for travelling is 15.39 minutes and 50% of the journeys took 10.85 minutes. This distribution correlates with the distance travelled distribution where most elderly travel short distances.


Student

Likewise, for the students, the average travelling time for a commuter would be about 13 minutes. 50% of the trips made by students are less than 10 minutes. The histogram above shows a right skewed distribution reflecting that most people travel for a shorter period in time. This is in line with the findings of the distance travelled for students.
