Introduction

I have used Healthy Ride Trip datasets from the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC). I am currently analysing the data for the fourth quarter of 2015. Some of the interesting findings have been – total number of trips made (15134) during the three months using as many as 487 different bikes over 50 bike stations. Here is the link for the database:

Also, a detailed analysis showed that range of the duration of a trip takes anywhere between 60 seconds and 1.95 (or approximately 2) days with a mean of 2458 seconds (41 minutes). The outliers could be because of different reasons – people with duration of less than 2-3 minutes may have tried out a bike and might not have found some problem and therefore returned the bike to the nearest station. Also, the people who rented a bike for more than a day might have been tourists trying to ride around the city.
