Data about the Metro

Metro patronage

Patronage on the Tyne and Wear Metro is estimated based on Continuous Monitoring Surveys carried out by Nexus. Almost 100k interviews are conducted each year on Metro.

As an estimate, caution should be taken if comparing small changes between years. Survey data is captured in 4-week periods and responses are scaled over 3 periods which reduces the influence of seasonality slightly. In most cases, it is advised to use a Moving Annual Total when looking at patronage.
