Province summary

Medians of system gaps by province. Click headers to sort.

City/system results

Wait gap = median(wait_low) − median(wait_high) (minutes). Positive = worse waits in lower-income. Density gap = median(density_low) − median(density_high) (trips/km²). Negative = worse density in lower-income.

Method & limitations (quick)

This is schedule-based (GTFS Schedule). It does not measure delays/cancellations (GTFS-Realtime).

Wait estimates are derived from scheduled headways in a defined time window and are most interpretable for frequent service.

When comparing many systems, avoid overclaiming; use multiple-testing control for “significant” lists.
