Transit Use 2014
04 January 2015I kept track of all the times I used transit in 2014. This only includes transit on the TTC, which is most of all my transit use. I took 206 rides this year. These are counted in the way the TTC would charge for rides, so when I have a day pass a "ride" is counted whenever I would need to deposit a token or tap my Presto card.
My rides were paid for using: Day Passes (92), Tokens (70), Presto (33), and borrowed passes (11). The Day Pass rides were generally quite cheap because the passes were used on weekends and shared with Heather.
Unsurprisingly, I used the TTC most on Saturdays when Day Passes can be shared. I walk to/from work every day so only use the TTC when I have to go somewhere outside my acceptable walking distance. I am not sure what acceptable walking distance is as it changes depending on the day/weather/time.
Splitting my day of week walking out for each months is not all that interesting except to note that I only took transit on Saturday in June.
Total rides each month do not tell me much except that I was out a lot in September (a many birthday month), and went to many Christmas parties in November/December.
