Sorry but there was a few errors in the data I posted last year, where:
- Most trip that differs between school day/non-school day were missing
- Error in data for trip begin/end at non-major stop. ie. the 130 that begins at Deer Lake Parkway, most trolly routes, etc.
- A few short-turn trips were missing all-together
- The 3:56AM trip of the 403 was missing.. I didn't know it start this early...
- Missing Friday-only trip.. my new data cannot distinguish these from the others, so I have to add them in

The effect were about 60 missing trips, 50 missing hours, max vehicle undercount by 10, and the average trip length off by 6 seconds.. Apparently, the number "1003" is actually the peak vehicles this year.. I'm good at predicting the future, eh?

I had corrected the post above. In fact, there might be still some error within, but I'm doing this so it will be consistent with the data below, and any data in the future if I'm still doing this.

Now... the data for September this year, lets see how the "funding stabilization" do to our transit system...

10 Earliest starts:
Code:
403N	3:56a
701W	4:10a
351N	4:11a
601N	4:21a
041E	4:22a
010E	4:25a
791W	4:25a
403N	4:29a
502W	4:32a
301W	4:35a
The 351 trips now depart later, and the 791 depart earlier. Apart from this, the list is essentially unchanged.

10 Latest Finishes:
Code:
N10S	4:01x
N19E	4:03x
N10S	4:20x
N10N	4:27x
N19E	4:28x
N9E	4:29x
N10S	4:50x
N10N	4:57x
N10S	5:20x
N10N	5:27x
Apart from 1 N10 trip running slower than last year, nothing else changed.

Longest trips, there are 27 (-2) trips that's are longer than 1.5 hr:
Code:
1:55	997W [9:27a, 10:27a]
1:42	997E [12:55p, 1:25p, 7:00p, 7:30p, 8:00p]
1:37	502E [3:00p]
1:35	017E [2:16p, 2:28p, 2:39p, 2:49p]
1:34	160E [4:12p]
1:33	017E [2:59p, 3:09p, 3:19p, 3:29p, 3:39p, 3:47p, 3:55p, 4:03p, 4:11p]
1:33	160E [4:42p]
1:31	017E [4:19p, 4:27p, 4:35p]
1:30	017E [2:04p]
The trip for eastbound 17 between 1:30p and 2:00p were running about 2-4 min faster, hence dropped out of the list

Shortest trip is only 3 min, and there are 19 of them:
Code:
028N	[5:47a]
C36S	[5:33p]
C87W	[all 17 trips]
And there are 9 (+1) trips that are only 4 min long:
Code:
228S	[12:39x, 1:09x]
239W	[11:14p, 1:56x, 2:01x]
403N	[1:08x, 1:38x, 2:08x]
C37E	[7:25a] *new*
On a regular day, there are 12343 hr and 38 min (-0.6%) of scheduled trips. The top 25 routes with the most services are:

There's now a domination of community shuttle for the 10 shortest route in Metro Vancouver. Note there are currently 14 (-2) routes longer than 1 hour.

The peak number of vehicles in service, which are actually carrying people, not including "not in service" or layover, are 1003 (-10), occurs at 4:51pm. This is the exactly same time as last year.

The routes with the most vehicles:
Code:
Veh	Routes

31	999
28	22
26	99
25	10, 25
24	9
22	17, 41, 135, 996

11	97, 701
10	129, 144, 210, 239, 240, 246, 320, 403
The top community shuttle is #C38, with 8 vehicles, follows by #C27 and #C28, both with 6. The top Nightbus route is #N10 and #N19, with 4 vehicles each.

The following routes have 1 bus running at the most, consider yourself lucky when you see them:
179, 256, 259, 391, 606, C2, C6, C8, C10, C12, C19, C20, C22, C48, C49, C52, C60, C61, C64, C84, C88, C89, C90, C99, N6

The biggest winners and losers compared to last year, in term of absolute hours:
Code:
#1	250	+20 hr 31 min	+36 trips, improve from every 30 to 15 min mid-day
#2	C8	+15 hr 00 min	+180 trips, new route created with hr from C4
#3	10	+12 hr 17 min	+14 trips
#4	791	+7 hr 30 min	construction re-route
#5	20	+6 hr 23 min	+2 trips, plus traffic
#6	130	+6 hr 19 min	traffic
#7	177	+6 hr 14 min	construction re-route
#8	33	+5 hr 20 min	traffic
#9	100	+4 hr 36 min	traffic
#10	C92	+4 hr 16 min	-2 trips, but bigger bus = slower boarding = more service hr!
#11	99	+3 hr 41 min	traffic
#12	43	+2 hr 24 min	traffic
#13	620	+2 hr 05 min	+8 trips, the unscheduled trips seem to become "scheduled" in trip planner only
#14	129	+2 hr 01 min	traffic
	...	...
#224	311	-7 hr 14 min	-5 trip, this is probably one of the worst cut.. no one taking this?
#225	49	-8 hr 51 min	+10 trips, but lighter traffic
#226	3	-10 hr 38 min	-2 trips, trip cut short in downtown
#227	601	-11 hr 28 min	-2 trips, lighter traffic
#228	C26	-12 hr 15 min	-58 trips, end of construction
#229	351	-12 hr 35 min	lighter traffic
#230	C4	-14 hr 46 min	-14 trips, route cut short to create C8
#231	480	-19 hr 13 min	-5 trips, but many trips short-turned
#232	15	-23 hr 32 min	-24 trips, cut
#233	8	-24 hr 16 min	-40 trips, cut after 60ft bus introduced
The biggest winners and losers compared to last year, in term of relative hours, with +100% means doubling the service and -100% means complete elmination. See above for explanation:
