Dataset description

<p>The Rolling O&amp;D survey (RODS) is a rolling programme to capture information about journeys on the LUL network.</p> <p>Warning: It is important to note that these data are reconciled to November counts and represent the number of people travelling on a typical (or average) weekday. Therefore, year-on-year RODS fluctuations do not necessarily reflect whole-year annual demand changes. Furthermore, these data are adjusted to remove the effect of any abnormal circumstances that may effect demand such as industrial action or long-term closures.<br /><br /><strong><span>The RODS dataset comprises information about:</span></strong></p> <p><span>-Boarders and alighters by station, line, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Line loading by section, line, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Station flows by station and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Origin-destination matrix by station, zone, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Route choice by origin-destination pair</span></p> <p><span>-Journeys involving interchange by zone, and number of interchanges</span></p> <p><span>-National Rail and DLR journeys to and from each LU station by zone and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Total entries and exits by borough and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Access and egress mode by entry/exit station, zone, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Age, gender, and mobility category split by entry/exit station, zone, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Average journey time by entry/exit station, zone, and time of day</span></p> <p><span>-Distance travelled by entry/exit station by zone, line, journey purpose, time of day, and ticket type</span></p> <p><span>-Journey frequency by entry/exit station, zone, journey purpose, time of day, and ticket type</span></p> <p><span>-Journey purpose by entry/exit station by zone, time of day, and ticket type</span></p> <p><span>-Ticket type by entry/exit station, zone, and time of day<br /><br /></span><span>Please note that you will need to register (for free) as a data feed user on the TfL website to be able to access this information.<br /><br /></span>Find out more about the feeds available from Transport for London <a href="https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/open-data-users/">here</a></p>

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
