This dataset provides **Bus Guides** for 13 Metro Stations along the Sydney Metro North West Line, including 8 new metro stations along the Chatswood to Sydenham extension due to commence August 2024. Each guide displays a table with all the Bus routes including the destination description and stand section and a Bus Map.

The Car Park API provides real time and historical occupancy of selected car parks. This API provides the occupancy for Transport Park&Ride car parks. Transport Park&Ride is designed to free-up more spaces at commuter car parks for those who want to travel on public transport. The data feed contains the parking occupancy information by type in real time. The Sydney Metro stations for Tallawong, Bella Vista, Hills Showground, Cherrybrook and Kellyville are reporting real time occupancy levels. It is intended other car park occupancy data will be enabled via this API in the future.

This dataset contains Official Train and Metro Utilisation figures. Opal tap-on/tap-off data (representing an individual entering & exiting a station), is allocated to a line and aggregated to a monthly figure for the estimated number of trips. Notes: (1) The timetable change on 26 November 2017 results in new line definitions and patronage splits by line for the period 26-30 November and all subsequent months. (2) A more accurate methodology for assigning trips to train line and operator has been applied to patronage from July 2017 onwards resulting in changes a revision to July – November 2017 patronage previously reported. **Caution** 1. School Student travel using concessional Opal cards is included. However this may be underrepresented, due to inconsistent tap-on/tap-off behaviour by students 2. Magnetic Stripe Ticketing (MST – paper tickets) data was also available in July 2016. MST patronage data for July is available [here](http://www.bts.nsw.gov.au/ArticleDocuments/233/Jul-16_MST_patronage_all_modes.xlsx.aspx) 3.

All non-Opal travel is excluded, for example transport concession entitlement cards, integrated ticketing for major events, and fare non-compliance 6. An Opal Trip is defined as a tap-on/tap-off pair (including where only a single tap-on or tap-off is recorded) 7. The timetable change on 26 November 2017 results in new line definitions with new patronage splits. This change makes patronage comparisons by line inconsistent before and after this date. The splits by line will be continually updated each month to adjust for changes in commuter behaviour in response to the change in timetable. 8. Historical data may change as new Opal data and patronage line splits becomes available for reporting. 9.

This dataset provides an indicator of historic rail occupancy for individual rail services from July 2019. Data included in ROAM - Rail Opal Assignment Model - includes Sydney Trains (T1 - T9) and Metro (Metro North West line) services. Note: With the introduction of the new City and Southwest Metro line, Transport is moving to a new Opal Allocation Model to handle the complexity that these new services will bring. The legacy Rail Opal Allocation Model (ROAM) data will be replaced with a new Near Real Time (NRT) ROAM from May 2024.

The rural-urban commuting area codes (RUCA) classify U.S. census tracts using measures of urbanization, population density, and daily commuting from the decennial census. The most recent RUCA codes are based on data from the 2000 decennial census. The classification contains two levels. Whole numbers (1-10) delineate metropolitan, micropolitan, small town, and rural commuting areas based on the size and direction of the primary (largest) commuting flows. These 10 codes are further subdivided to permit stricter or looser delimitation of commuting areas, based on secondary (second largest) commuting flows. The approach errs in the direction of more codes, providing flexibility in combining levels to meet varying definitional needs and preferences. The 1990 codes are similarly defined. However, the Census Bureau's methods of defining urban cores and clusters changed between the two censuses. And, census tracts changed in number and shapes. The 2000 rural-urban commuting codes are not directly comparable with the 1990 codes because of these differences. An update of the Rural-Urban Commuting Area Codes is planned for late 2013.

The 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes form a classification scheme that distinguishes metropolitan counties by the population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan counties by degree of urbanization and adjacency to a metro area. The official Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metro and nonmetro categories have been subdivided into three metro and six nonmetro categories. Each county in the U.S. is assigned one of the 9 codes. This scheme allows researchers to break county data into finer residential groups, beyond metro and nonmetro, particularly for the analysis of trends in nonmetro areas that are related to population density and metro influence. The Rural-Urban Continuum Codes were originally developed in 1974. They have been updated each decennial since (1983, 1993, 2003, 2013), and slightly revised in 1988. Note that the 2013 Rural-Urban Continuum Codes are not directly comparable with the codes prior to 2000 because of the new methodology used in developing the 2000 metropolitan areas. See the Documentation for details and a map of the codes. An update of the Rural-Urban Continuum Codes is planned for mid-2023.

State fact sheets provide information on population, income, education, employment, federal funds, organic agriculture, farm characteristics, farm financial indicators, top commodities, and exports, for each State in the United States. Links to county-level data are included when available.

The NSW Taxi Council is the peak body for the NSW Taxi Industry. It represents taxi networks, owners and operators. This dataset includes location points of the Taxi Ranks in the Sydney Metro area including 15 of the 23 Secure Taxi Ranks. Secure taxi ranks operate late on Friday and Saturday nights in busy locations across NSW. Security guards are on duty to help ensure a safe environment for both customers and drivers. The dataset is as at 31/10/2018, and includes decommissioned Taxi Ranks due to the implementation of the L2 and L3 Light Rail infrastructure and various Pop Up Cycleways, and is missing newly implemented Secure taxi ranks.

Thirty Minute City and Metro Strategic Centre Catchments is a foundation of the [Future Transport Strategy](https://future.transport.nsw.gov.au/future-transport-strategy/greater-sydney-network). Thirty Minute City establishes a metropolitan transport network which reinforces the metropolis of three cities, particularly the delivery of a 30-minute city where most residents in each city can access their metropolitan centre or cluster within 30 minutes by public transport. Metro Strategic Centre Catchments develops a network of 34 strategic centres with jobs, goods and services supported by a public transport, walking and cycling network. This would provide residents with a 30-minute public transport service to their nearest strategic centre seven days a week. The image below shows the thirty minute city catchments to the different strategic centre catchments.  The Thirty Minute City and Metro Strategic Centre Catchments Document provides you with detailed information regards the background of this initiative and the datasets used.

Counts of train and metro station entries and exits, including monthly data, and 'typical day' samples. Note: Sydney Metro North West commenced operations May 2019.

The 2013 Urban Influence Codes form a classification scheme that distinguishes metropolitan counties by population size of their metro area, and nonmetropolitan counties by size of the largest city or town and proximity to metro and micropolitan areas. The standard Office of Management and Budget (OMB) metro and nonmetro categories have been subdivided into two metro and 10 nonmetro categories, resulting in a 12-part county classification. This scheme was originally developed in 1993. This scheme allows researchers to break county data into finer residential groups, beyond metro and nonmetro, particularly for the analysis of trends in nonmetro areas that are related to population density and metro influence. An update of the Urban Influence Codes is planned for mid-2023.
