Transit report card

Not graded
Regional and intercity services mostly stop where another agency is the main local service, so dividing their service among those residents would mislead. Their schedules are still measured on their own pages.

How the grades work
- Frequent service nearby
- The share of residents who live within 500 m, in a straight line, of a stop where one route comes every 15 minutes or better in the same direction in every hour from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on a weekday.
- Service per resident
- Scheduled hours in service in a typical week, times 52, divided by residents. Each trip counts from its first departure to its last arrival, so time between trips is left out.
- Service day
- Hours from the first weekday departure anywhere on the network to the last.
- Weekend service
- Saturday and Sunday service hours as a share of a weekday's. A day without service counts as none.
| Measure | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequent service nearby | 50%+ | 30%+ | 15%+ | 5%+ |
| Service per resident | 1.8 h+ | 1.2 h+ | 0.8 h+ | 0.4 h+ |
| Service day | 20.0 h+ | 18.0 h+ | 16.0 h+ | 14.0 h+ |
| Weekend service | 80%+ | 65%+ | 50%+ | 30%+ |
Each measure earns 0 to 4 points, F to A, with partial points between grade lines. The overall grade is their average, rounded like a grade point average, and agencies are ranked by it. Grade lines are fixed rather than curved, so a grade changes only when that agency's service does.
Agencies are graded on the municipalities they mainly serve: those where their stops reach more residents than any other agency's, and at least 10% of them. An agency whose stops mostly reach people elsewhere is listed as regional. A typical week is the busiest weekday, Saturday and Sunday in the next two weeks of each schedule. Where people live comes from the population of each census dissemination area, spread evenly over its land. Straight-line distance overstates how close some stops are on foot, so these figures are a ceiling on real access.
