The wait for a bus home after an event is an estimate, and it is the least a rider could have waited.

What we observed

• The time each bus left the venue stops after the event ended, from live vehicle positions close to a stop.
• Planned and ran trips come from the night’s results. Extra buses are buses that left on an event route. The venue’s stops are its listed stops, or the stops near its address.

The model, and what it assumes

• Riders reach the stops evenly over the hour after the event ends. This shows what the service offered, not how crowded it was.
• Every rider boards the first bus that leaves after they arrive. A full bus is not modelled, so the real wait can only be longer.
• The typical wait is the median. The longest is the worst wait of a rider who boarded in the hours after the event. The bars count riders in short steps.

What it leaves out

• Attendance is not used. It is shown only when a published source gives it, and the source is named. Otherwise the page says "not available".
• With too few departures seen, the page says "not measured". A range for a kind of event needs enough nights.

Method version and change log

A published month never changes. If a method is revised, past months keep the method they were worked out with.
