About the App
About the App
This app visualizes ridership throughout the entire CTA "El" Station. Front and center are a bar chart indicating the ridership at each station for a given date as well as a map with markers that indicate the ridership based on opacity and marker size.
The viewer can opt to choose a date to see the ridership for that specific date, and choose two dates to see the change in ridership between the two dates.
A particular stop can be highlighted by selecting from a list of them or tapping on a marker. At first, bar charts showing the ridership for each year from 2001 to 2021, ridership per month for a given year, ridership per day for a given year, and ridership per weekday for a given year.
When selecting a particular stop, a year slider can be used to change the visualizations for the stop. By default, each visualization is a bar chart but can be changed to a table.
