The table gives data about passenger volumes reaching a station every 2 hours in a day, and
also the average ticket cost at those times. Passenger numbers peak 3 times during the day. For example, the number at 6am is 480, rising
to 690 by 8am before falling again. There is then a peak of 700 at midday, followed by an afternoon decline to a low of 230 at 4pm. A third spike is at 6pm, reaching 670 before tailing off. The ticket prices partially follow this pattern. The 8am passenger surge is matched by a high
price of $29, followed by a peak of $31 at midday and a decrease to $17 by 4pm. However, the 6pm spike in passenger numbers is accompanied by a low of $11 in prices, with a subsequent rise to $22 at 8pm and a final levelling off. In summary, ticket prices increase broadly in line with passenger traffic, except during the
evening rush hour when they actually fall.
