The line graph illustrates the hourly passenger numbers at a Paris metro station between 6:00 and 22:00. Overall, the data reveals a volatile trend, characterised by two major surges in footfall during the morning and evening periods, interspersed with significant troughs.
At 6:00, the station recorded 100 passengers, which doubled to 200 by 7:00 before climbing sharply to a morning peak of 400 at 8:00. Following this, numbers dropped to 300 at 9:00 and reached a low of 190 at 10:00. Between 11:00 and 14:00, the figures showed a steady recovery, rising from 210 to a plateau of 300 passengers.
Subsequently, the volume of commuters declined sharply to 210 at 15:00, hitting the lowest point of the day at 90 passengers by 16:00. A dramatic recovery followed, with numbers rising to 200 at 17:00 and peaking again at 390 at 18:00. After 19:00, when the count was 300, the figures plummeted to 110 at 20:00. The final two hours saw a minor recovery to 180 at 21:00, before finishing at 120 passengers at 22:00.
