This information is then used to estimate overall ridership information along bus routes. Bus Time GPS records provide Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) data in 30‐second intervals. By merging AFC data with Bus Time AVL data, and with the time of payment and position of that bus at the time of payment, the points of entry are estimated. Points of exit can be determined based on the next payment location when using a MetroCard swipe, when known. In other cases, riders are distributed to alighting locations based on observed boarding and alighting trends. Due to the availability of information, sometimes narrowing down the points of entry and exit will be more difficult. In these cases, designated points of entry and exit are assigned based on best estimate probabilities. Reviewing the estimations on an aggregated basis (e.g., monthly basis) yields more accurate information than on a single day basis. Cash payments and fare evasion are also included in determining ridership numbers based on observed data. Boardings and Alightings The boarding and alighting locations of Northeast Queens passengers have been estimated and the most significant stops are shown in the following figures. Boarding and alighting locations show an increasing quantity of ridership in the western section of Northeast Queens, with a clear relationship between bus use and other transit infrastructure (subway). Weekday AM bus boardings and alightings are shown in Figures 14 and 15. When considering overnight service, the stops near subways emerge as even more important to Northeast Queens customers. Overnight bus boardings and alightings maps are located in Appendix C: Additional Data. 29
