Plotting number of trips per hour

A simple script to show how you can plot the hourly trips with the bike sharing service in Oslo.

Setup

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import oslobike
from math import pi

Fetch bike sharing data

data = oslobike.get_historical(6, 2021)

Count number of trips per hour

data["Count"] = 1
hourly_data = data.groupby(data["started_at"].dt.hour).sum()

Plot the trips

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
hourly_data.plot(y="Count", ax=ax)

# Make plot pretty
ax.set_xlabel("Hour of day")
ax.set_ylabel("Number of trips")
ax.set_title("Bike trip count June 2021")

plt.show()
