CTA Ridership Visualizations

Seeing Traffic

I made these CTA Data Visualizations in 2014 from data put out by the city of Chicago. They graph the CTA᾿s ridership over time.

# Conclusions:
  1. The circle is way less readable than the timeline of all the data
  2. The trains have been getting more popular lately
  3. People take the train a lot on the forth of July, unless it᾿s raining.
