Key Findings

  • Casual riders consistently took longer rides than annual members, even during the winter months of January through March. This suggests many casual riders may be using the service for leisure or tourism rather than commuting.
  • The top end stations for casual riders were heavily concentrated near Chicago's lakeshore, indicating popular recreational areas.
  • In contrast, annual members primarily ended their rides within the Loop, aligning with patterns typical of local commuters.
  • These trends support the idea that casual riders are more likely tourists or recreational users, while annual members are typically local, routine commuters.
  • To support the business goal of converting casual riders into annual members, it's recommended to:
    • Conduct further analysis on Q2 data (warmer months) to better identify local casual riders who may be open to membership.
    • Target marketing efforts:including print and social media, near high-traffic lakeshore stations to attract potential converts among recreational riders.
