Number of Rents and Returns during Weekdays and Weekends

snip20161102_1

Interesting observations:

  • There are two peaks (8 am and 5 pm) during week days, probably people going to work and going back from work.
  • Bikes are used more to go home than to go to work.
  • People wake up late during weekends.
  • Nobody try to rent bikes when its 3-4 am. There are only returns.

Top Ten Most Ridden Bikes

snip20161102_3

The most popular bike of the quarter is Bike #70145, which has been ridden for almost 300 hours! The least popular bike is Bike #70008, which has been ridden only for about 10 minutes during the quarter.

 

Rents and Returns at Stations

snip20161104_10

Interesting observations:

  • There’s more traffic near city center.
  • People tend to rent their bikes at small stations and return them at larger ones.

 

I really enjoyed making this assignment. There seemed to be so much interesting information that I can extract from the data, and I kept thinking of possible visualizations I can do.

d3 felt strange at first, but soon I got used to it and started to admire its beauty. However for some of the features (for example one bar on top of another in the first chart) I couldn’t figure out how to make them using the idiomatic d3 way, so I used some hackish processing-like method to achieve them.

 

/*    HIDDEN INITIALIZATION BLOCK    */

// Select the DOM element
var parent = d3.select("#visualization");

// Set up the margins
var bbox   = parent.node().getBoundingClientRect();
var margin = {top: 50, right: 50, bottom: 50, left: 50};
var width  = +bbox.width - margin.left - margin.right;
var height = +bbox.height - margin.top - margin.bottom;

// Define svg as a group within the base SVG.
var svg = parent.select("svg").append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");
