2024

Submitted for the MTA's 2024 open data challenge.

"Meyers’ adorable zine follows the journey of a rat with a MetroCard and how they are likely to travel based on trends in our modeled Subway Origin-Destination Ridership data. As Meyers highlights, rain or shine, New Yorkers make their way to the office on the weekdays. But on weekend evenings, bad weather may be a reason to stay home instead!

While the analysis draws on one of our largest datasets and the supporting code is open-source, we love that the final product makes open data accessible to data enthusiasts of all skill levels."
