- Abstract
- This point data layer represents MCTS ridership on Saturdays for 2008. AGSL staff created the point data layer using the Saturday.dbf file that was originally published by the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) in 2008.[Total_On and Total_Off fields are the most useful for average daily ridership by bus stop. I also joined a bus stops file in order to have a complete NAME field which indicates the corner/bus stop geography, and any of the Lat/Long or X,Y fields are OK to use for plotting on a map (X3,Y3 has UTM coords). Remember also that there may be multiple points at one location because some bus stops are used by several routes but the ons/offs are recorded individually by route/stop, not just by stop alone.]
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for reference and mapping purposes and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.
- Supplemental Information
- Augmented original metadata with AGSL specific elements. For official metadata contact the resource Point of Contact. Also see Saturday.dbf.
