In this study, we present a comparative analysis of bus routes servicing the University of Pittsburgh to identify the most efficient options for students. We examine factors such as ridership, on-time performance, and travel distance to develop a comprehensive understanding of each route's performance. Our findings suggest that route 18 is the most effective for students, and we propose potential improvements to further optimize the transportation system.
