Monthly Public Transport Patronage By Mode

Monthly total patronage for metropolitan and regional train, metropolitan and regional bus, tram and regional coach services in Victoria, to allow users to analyse trends in patronage by mode. Patronage is a count of patron boardings onto services, with the exclusion of train transfers that do not involve a change in direction. Patrons includes all persons 5 and over, excluding drivers and station staff. Data quality 1) Patronage data for metropolitan modes and for regional bus is derived from myki ticketing data. As ticketing data provides an incomplete picture of the number of people using public transport, DoT also conducts a patronage survey to supplement myki data. The purpose of the patronage survey is to determine the transaction rate, which is the percentage of passengers who ‘touch-on’ when they travel. Ticketing transactions are boosted according to the transaction rate to provide an estimate of total patronage. 2) As of January 2021, metropolitan train patronage uses barrier count data, where available, in place of survey observations to determine the transaction rate. 3) Metropolitan train patronage is derived from a count of station entries, plus a 5% ‘transfer uplift’ to account for trips following a transfer within a station. 4) Patronage data for regional train and coach is provided by V/Line and is based on conductor or driver counts for each regional train and coach service. 5) Patronage data for regional bus also includes patronage estimates for services that are not myki enabled. This data is derived from the ‘monthly statistical returns’ completed by each bus operator.本数据集涵盖维多利亚州大都会及区域铁路、大都会及区域公交、有轨电车与区域长途客车服务的月度总客流量，可供用户按出行方式分析客流变化趋势。客流量统计范围为乘客上车人次，不含无方向变更的铁路换乘客流；统计对象为5岁及以上所有人员，排除驾驶员与车站工作人员。 数据质量说明： 1. 大都会交通方式及区域公交的客流量数据源自myki票务系统数据。由于票务数据无法完整反映公共交通出行的实际规模，维多利亚州交通厅（DoT）同步开展客流量调查以补充myki票务数据。该调查的核心目标为确定交易率，即出行时完成“触卡进站”操作的乘客占比。票务交易数据将依据交易率进行调整，以此估算总客流量。 2. 自2021年1月起，大都会铁路客流量在数据可用的情况下，采用闸机计数数据替代原调查观测数据以确定交易率。 3. 大都会铁路客流量统计包含车站进站人次，并额外增加5%的换乘增补量，用于核算站内换乘后的出行行程。 4. 区域铁路及长途客车的客流量数据由V/Line提供，基于各区域铁路与长途客车服务的乘务员或驾驶员的随车计数结果。 5. 区域公交客流量数据还包含未启用myki票务系统的服务的客流估算值，该类数据源自各公交运营商提交的月度统计报表。
