The data is collected by Chicago Transit Authority we can export the data from this https://data.cityofchicago.org/Transportation/CTA-Ridership-L-Station-Entries-Daily-Totals/5neh-572f site . The data contains different fields like stationId, stationname, date, daytype and rides. The data is collected from the year 2000 to 2021, rides in the data represent the count of passengers who has used CTA for transport and stationname represents the station on which the customer has on board. So a ride is counted only when a person tries to board a train or a bus. Daytype takes three values where W is Weekday, A means Saturday and U means Sunday or a Holiday.
Here is a link to the github repository which has the required files to run this project https://github.com/abhi2596/VVAProject1.
There are two options to download this code from this repository one is cloning the project using github for this we need to have git installed on your desktop and the other is just downloading the files. Both of these options are available in code dropdown. We will discuss the latter approach which is downloading the files, To download under code select download zip and extract the files then open R studio, R studio needs to be installed on your desktop to run this project. To run this project we need to install some packages in R to install a package the command in R is install.package("packagename"). For this project we need to install packages shiny,shiny dashboard, ggplot, lubridate, gridExtra, scales, dplyr, DT. Once this packages are installed open app.R in R Studio it contains the code required to run this application. In R studio press run app this will launch the application in your local web browser.
