What is the total number of passengers carried in each month for 2015-2016? What are the tariffs they used by each month? i.e: January: Total passengers January tariffs: student, full ticket, over 65 age, hopper, police, teacher, staff, One-way ticket / Two-way ticket / 3-5-10-way ticket usage, monthly, weekly or other tariff usage counts. To work on the peak and off peak times, if it is easy can we as well create data for the 2015-2016 each hour total passengers and tariffs they used in all months. If thats not easy i can work on the whole months and try pick 4 months to make it easier to get hourly total usages and tariffs.
