2.3M trips / 7300 users / 30 days is more than 10 trips per day.

When I took the bus in DC, each trip was 45-75 minutes long (12 mile route, during peak traffic) not counting wait times. Zero transfers.

Who has time for 10 bus trips, plus wait times, per day?

It says that's how many trips were "planned", not taken.

It's an interesting UI study to see how many trips were planned vs. taken, though. When I use Google Maps to plan a trip, the leave/arrive times are usually wrong, so I have to adjust those. It's kind of a pain to type in a time, so I hit the "+ 30 minutes" button a bunch of times until I get to the desired time. So if this is a trip for 6 hours later today, that's going to be 12 trips planned vs. 1 taken.

“Planned” vs “taken”.

I usually plan trips through several different routes when I don’t know the route, and maybe take one trip. I don’t need an app to plan routes for my daily commute.
