# Rental Bike Analysis

This repository analyzes rental bike rides in munich from the year 2021. For more information see the heading _Dataset "Rides on the MVG bike"_ below.

It is the accompanying repository to this blog post which discusses the findings: https://medium.com/@jonas.hahn/riding-the-data-wave-insights-into-munichs-bike-rental-trends-8330bc4e6c41

The data is prepared for analysis and the following questions are answered:

* How long do people usually rent these bikes?

* How far do they travel with them?

* Do people often use them complementary to the other public transport?

## Requirements

    jupyter==1.0.0

    pandas==1.5.3

    matplotlib==3.7.1

* Start date and time of the loan

* End date and time of the loan

* Loan start coordinates

* Coordinates rental end

* Rental start station-based or free-floating

* Possibly station name
