This research paper proposes a deep learning-based approach to accurately predict public transit ridership in rapidly growing urban areas in Canada. Traditional time series models like ARIMA and SARIMA face limitations, particularly in short-term predictions and integrating spatial and temporal features. Deep Learning (DL) models demonstrate superior performance in short-term prediction tasks by capturing both spatial and temporal features. The paper highlights challenges such as dynamic spatial feature extraction, balancing accuracy with computational efficiency, and ensuring scalability.

This study aims to improve public transit planning in Canada by developing a deep learning model that accurately predicts ridership. Right now, traditional models struggle to capture changes in passenger numbers, leading to overcrowded buses and trains. The new approach uses special kinds of artificial intelligence to analyze patterns in where people travel from and to, helping to better plan for the future.
