Public Transport Trips - All Modes

These visualisations feature Ticketed Trips for all modes of Public Transport by week, month and year. Visualisations for each of the modes show the number of ticketed trips based on operator, line, contract area (where applicable) and card type.

A Ticketed trip includes all OPAL trips (where an Opal or Contactless card is used to tap-on and tap-off, including where a single tap-on or tap-off is recorded) and on demand buses. All other travel not captured by Opal is excluded from these figures.

It's important to note that on 1 January 2024, the methodology for calculating trip numbers was updated to better reflect the services used by passengers across the transport network. As a result, aggregations between Line, Agency and Mode levels are no longer valid, as a single trip may involve multiple lines. Trip numbers should now be viewed at the individual line, operator or mode level, without further combination.

This dashboard presents data based on both the old and new methodologies. When analysing longer-term trends, users should exercise caution when comparing data that spans before and after the January 2024 change, as the figures may not be directly comparable - particularly for train and metro line-level patronage.

To ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information, the data for this dashboard is refreshed monthly, with a 2-month lag to allow for late-arriving Opal transaction records. This means the most recent 2 months of data will be updated in the following month's release.

Notes:

• This information was previously shared across two separate dashboards, as the 'new methodology' was changed over for each mode individually, over time. The 1 dashboard currently shared combines both the old and new methodologies, with the switch-over date from one to the other being 1 January 2024.
