Bus-teresis

This article explores the distribution of bus waiting times in London using data from Transport for London's open data initiative. The author sets up a Python script to collect bus arrival data every 15 minutes over a week, using OSX's launchctl utility. The collected data is then analyzed to model waiting times, finding an exponential distribution. The article includes technical details on data collection, Python scripting, and statistical analysis, making it relevant to IT/technology topics such as programming, data analysis, and software engineering.
