Trips at weekends have a very different profile to weekday trips. Figure 11.40 shows
trips by start hour on Saturdays, with figure 11.41 the equivalent for Sundays. In
contrast to weekdays, trips at the weekend have one main peak in the middle of the
day, with this peak being more pronounced on Sundays (between 12:00 and 13:00),
and more spread out across the afternoon on Saturdays, with the peak running from
10:00 to 16:00.
