About me and this site

This site was created to collect and display information about the Melbourne Bikeshare system.

I am a cycling enthusiast, Washington DC resident, geek, and Capital Bikeshare (DC's Bikeshare) member. I started cabitracker.com after seeing stations around DC run full or go empty, particularly around rush-hour. I wanted to get a better understanding of how each station was being used and when. I've copied what I've done for the CaBi system to provide data for this system.

Here are a few uses of this site:

• Commuters can determine when the station near home runs empty and when the station near work gets full and vice-versa.
• The company that runs CaBi, Hubway (Boston), & Melbourne operations, alta, can use information on this site to better plan their bicycle rebalancing efforts.

How to use this site

The primary features of this site are currently:

• Current Information: Use the homepage to view a map-based listing of all stations with a pie-chart graphical representation of available bikes and docks. Click on a station's icon to display current information about that staiton and a link to other reports.
• Historical Information: Click the "more data" link for a station to access the bike/dock availability report or the outage report for that station. Those reports can be generated for a specific date-range.
• Status: Click System Status from the homepage for a listing of all currently full/empty stations. From there you can see past outages by date or bike usage and outage charts for specific dates.
• New Reports: I'd like to know what reports you would like to see-- email me.

Here is a guide to understanding the pie-charts:
