The line graph illustrates the passenger activity on the Toronto Metro system over a typical weekday in July 2007, detailing hourly fluctuations from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The x-axis represents the time of day, while the y-axis indicates the number of passengers in thousands.
Overall, the graph highlights two peak times when passenger volume is at its highest, specifically at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., signaling the morning and evening rush hours. In contrast, the lowest passenger counts occur at the start of the day around 6 a.m. and again in the late evening, suggesting minimal usage during these times.
In detail, the activity begins with 100,000 passengers at 6 a.m., which then surges to 400,000 by 8 a.m., marking the highest point of the morning. Following this peak, there is a sharp decline to around 200,000 passengers by 10 a.m. and a gradual increase to 300,000 by noon. The volume remains relatively steady from noon until 2 p.m., after which it declines to about 100,000 passengers by 4 p.m.
A second peak in passenger activity on the Toronto Metro system is observed at 6 p.m., where numbers again reach approximately 400,000. After this, the passenger count drops sharply, reaching 200,000 by 8 p.m. and further decreasing to around 150,000 by 10 p.m., marking the end of the day’s observed data.
