Chicago's Bike Sharing Use

Divvy Bikes 2014/2015

In this project dependence of trips and duration on weather conditions, season, and time for 2014 and 2015 years was analyzed. Subscribers tend to ride bikes mainly between 7 and 8 am, and 6 and 7 pm. Moreover they do not exceed a time limit, while customers go above free 30 minutes in the midnights between 0 and 5 am. The former use bikes generally in working days, and less at the weekends. The latter has an opposite trend. During the year both customers and subscribers perform more and longer trips in the summer. While in the winter cyclists have longest trips in the beginning of the month, in spring - at the beginning, middle and at the end of the month. Customers overpass free 30 minutes basically in the winter season. Independent variables such as a precipitation, a humidity, and a wind speed have an effect on trip duration of cyclists. However, trip duration of customers is influenced more than subscribers. Also in the winter there is a high correlation between trip duration and weather conditions.
