A team in the Arlington Department of Environmental Services’ Mobility Lab sifted through three months’ worth of Capital Bikeshare data to determine which stations are the most popular in the 1,700-bike system. The resulting data visualization map shows off not only which stations see the most action, but also the most popular point-to-point routes taken by Bikeshare’s customers.

Mobility Lab collected data from the third quarter of 2012 and found several figures that re-affirm many of the trends that we already know define Bikeshare, aka the greatest communal cycling program in the United States. Bikeshare gets the greatest amount of use between Dupont Circle and the National Mall, with a station at Massachusetts Avenue NW and the circle registering as the most popular stop by far. That paddock was the launching point for 2.8 percent of all Bikeshare trips between July and September 2012. (A figure made more impressive by the fact that the 190 stations, the average share would be 0.53 percent.)

The most popular route involving that station, by the way, leads to 15th and P streets NW, with 2118 trips either back or forth. Apparently, Dupont Circle to Whole Foods is a popular ride.

The average Bikeshare trip is about 1.2 miles. Mobility Lab also found that the greatest number of casual users—people who buy one- and three-day memberships—join up on the stations lining the National Mall. Eighty percent of rides, however, were are by annual members.
