Citi Bike operates the largest bike share program in the US with over 1,500 bike stations across the boroughs of New York City and parts of New Jersey - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Jersey City and Hoboken. There are an estimated 25,000 bikes across the city and thousands of riders use the bikes for several reasons: fun, exploring the city, saving money and the convenience of not being tied down to the frustration of traffic congestion and scarcity of parking spaces.

Citi Bike collects and publishes usage data of ride origins and destination, trip duration among others. In this project, the Citi Bike data was analyzed to vizualize stops and start destinations and trip counts for September 2020 and September 2021. The first set of maps is a distriubtion of origins and destinatoions across the city for September 2020

This next set of maps, just like the set above, is a distribution of origins and destinations across New York for September 2021. This also utilises the Citi Bike data for September 2021 for analysis and vizualisation. The data was analyzed to isolate station names of origins and destinations. Each of the stations were geocoded using the locations in the data and converted to GEOJSON. Each circles represents a station with the size of circles indicating its popularity.
