Weekday and weekend trips can differ even when tagged with the same route.

Do not infer from the calendar. Record load, staffing and receiving traffic with the day; do not treat association as cause.

Comparison sequence

Group trips by day within similar routes and operating conditions. Show deviations alongside each group's run count.

Data for the decision

  • Day of week
  • Run count
  • Stops and delays
  • Return load

If a weekday difference persists in matched trips, investigate workflow; do not change equipment based on the calendar label alone.
