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.
