Hi, I'm looking to obtain bus occupancy data for the following services, on an average neutral weekday and Saturday: 11, 22, 319, 19, 211, N11, N22, N19. I would require it in a format that I can build an occupancy profile across the day, for specific bus stops. Do you hold the data to provide the number of boarding and alighting passengers, at each stop on the routes above, for each service? Thank you
