Summary of my project

My project seeks to explore the complementary effect of bike-sharing system (BSS) on the public transit ridership in Chicago using, primarily, Divvy and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) data. Divvy is the BSS local to the Chicago area and CTA provides public transportation in forms of buses and rails.
