This overall pattern suggests that day-pass users are more inclined towards recreational biking, while members use Divvy for commuting. In contrast, Singh found the average day-pass user rides mainly on the weekend, travels between bike stations near parks, and takes trips that frequently exceed 30 minutes.

Following are three of our top takeaways from the Divvy data challenge.

While many of the winnerвЂ™s projects were interesting, a few projects in particular stood out. The dataset provided to contestants included geographic information as well as trip dates, trip routes and rider type (either annual member or 24-hour pass user).Дivvy presented awards in seven categories including Most Original, Most Insightful, and Most Comprehensive. What do 3.2 million bikesharing trips look like? ChicagoвЂ™s Divvy bikeshare system hosted a contest earlier this year to encourage designers, developers and scientists to create visualizations that represent the data from DivvyвЂ™s 4,760 bikes and 476 stations over the past year in an insightful, beautiful or creative way.ДЇor a city that is home to the largest service area of any single North American bikesharing system, thatвЂ™s no small feat.
