Statistical Gold: The Productivity of the No. 5

Further to the posts below on Robson Street transit (“Circling the Square”), Ian Fisher provides some data:

In 2011, the #5 Robson carried an average of 9,400 riders/weekday, and the #6 Davie 9,100. Both routes are scheduled to run at least every 9 minutes during the day, more typically every 5-7 minutes, though congestion can clearly affect the consistency of the service.

Here’s a sample of some of the data:

As canadianveggie says:  “Statistical gold!”
