Planning note
Professional-tier BI kit focused on ridership, on-time performance, fare revenue, operator productivity, fleet upkeep, and service reliability
Corravia Transit Authority is a fictional mid-size metro public-transit agency built for BI teams that want a believable ridership, service-performance, fare, operator, and fleet dataset without exposing any real riders, operators, vehicles, or routes. The agency runs local and express buses, bus rapid transit, light rail, and a commuter rail line across several divisions. Everything in the kit is invented so analysts can model on-time performance, ridership by route and time of day, fare revenue by product, operator productivity, and fleet maintenance in one coherent transit story.
Operating Profile
- Runs bus, bus rapid transit, light rail, and commuter rail service across six operating divisions, each based out of a depot.
- Carries riders on local, express, rapid, and rail routes, collecting fares through single rides, day passes, period passes, and reduced-fare products.
- Operates a revenue fleet of buses and rail cars maintained by depot mechanics, and staffs service with operators on scheduled shifts.
- Keeps the scope on ridership, service performance, fares, operator shifts, fleet upkeep, and incidents rather than capital planning.
Recent Business Events
- 1Corravia standardized its on-time performance definition and daypart breakdown across all divisions so service reporting could be compared on one scorecard.
- 2The agency expanded rapid and commuter rail service and refreshed its fare product catalog with new period passes and reduced-fare options.
- 3Maintenance teams began scoring vehicle condition and age more explicitly to plan fleet replacement against rising maintenance cost on the oldest buses.
- 4Service control began coding incident causes and severity consistently so delay drivers could be compared across modes and divisions.
These are the operating questions this kit is optimized to answer first.
Boardings and ridership by route, mode, division, and time of day
On-time performance through trips operated, on-time trips, and average delay by route and daypart
Fare revenue by fare product, rider class, route, and mode
Operator productivity through shifts, service hours, trips operated, and on-time share
Fleet maintenance cost, downtime, and reliability, plus incident causes and severity
Embedded Analytical Stories
Service reliability
Follow daily route service by daypart into trips operated, on-time trips, and boardings to show on-time performance and ridership together.
Ridership and fares
Compare boardings and fare revenue across routes, modes, fare products, and rider classes.
Operator productivity
Track operator shifts, service hours, trips operated, and on-time share by division and role.
Fleet reliability
Connect vehicle age and condition bands to maintenance cost, downtime, and replacement pressure on the oldest fleet.
Incident impact
Use service incidents to show how mechanical, operational, external, and weather causes drive delay minutes and severity by route and mode.
