Analysis of the Factors that Affect Bus Delays in Toronto

Problem Statement

The project aims to analyze the factors that affect bus delays in Toronto based on the dataset that is sourced from the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), which provides detailed records of bus delays across the city. It focuses on four key factors, namely bus route, days of the week, time, and incident type. The findings of the project to can be used to inform policy and decision-makers to improve the reliability and efficiency of the public transit system.

Conclusion

Bus delays mostly happened in the afternoon around 2-5pm at the end stations of subway line 2 and with the majority cause categories of “Operations/Operators” and “Mechanical.” 

Based on the information provided, we can concentrate on these causes and investigate each one in detail to arrive at a more definitive conclusion and perhaps find solutions to the problem of bus delays.
