Four parts of one day

The route does not look the same all day.

These cards summarize what the platform could see, making the daily rhythm easier to compare without turning a single observation into a service grade.

Reported bus occupancy

How busy were reported buses?

Not Busy0–30% of capacity
Busy30–80% of capacity
Very BusyMore than 80%

These are reported vehicle conditions, not passenger totals. The daily pattern appears only when enough buses report occupancy.

Moments worth noticing

What changed during this 24-hour window?

These are descriptive observations, not explanations. Weather, disruptions, dispatching, feed quality, and ordinary daily schedules can all affect what appears.

Why the full day matters

A route supports different parts of city life at different hours.

Morning work and school trips, midday appointments, afternoon transfers, evening shifts, and late trips all depend on service being present beyond one live snapshot. The 24-hour view makes those changes visible without claiming who travelled or why.

Check the label

What the 24-hour record can and cannot tell us.

The record uses Toronto local time and refreshes as new observations are stored.

Observed
Vehicle records visible to the platform for this route at each sample time.
Missing
A blank period means the platform did not store enough observations. It does not mean no service operated.
Compared
A recent hourly comparison appears only when at least three earlier days are available.
Not measured
Passenger totals, boardings, exact crowding, schedule adherence, exact passenger waits, or every vehicle in service.
