Demand is a crucial factor that drives the success of any business venture. Similarly,
the transport sector is affected either positively or negatively by fluctuations in
demand along the designated routes (Medeiros, 2019). Given the inherent
uncertainty of the future, it is crucial for businesses to accurately predict market
trends for both short-term and long-term planning purposes. This allows them to
position themselves for profitability and success. The passenger transport industry

without designated bus stops, the BRT planner can divide the entire network into
segments and calculate the total number of customers boarding and alighting at
each segment.
Cities like Johannesburg, which have both APC data and GTFS data, can attribute
the APC boarding and alighting data to each route mapped on GTFS. This creates a
