2. Interacting with data
• I have chosen to alter my chosen data set as the
feedback I received indicated that my aims were
not clear and I could not visual how I could
change them
• I have chosen to model the data of the train
timetables of the Belgrave and Lilydale lines,
Monday to Friday after the change of direction in
the city loop until end of service. The patronage
data was fabricated but a necessary part.

This train passes through

107. Usage
• This representation would ideally be
created as an ‘app’ for the iPhoneTM
• The user would download the application
which would include all timetables and
patronage data for every line and service
on Metro and V/line. The patronage data
would be updated annually.
