Exploring MVG Rad data

MVG Rad is the bike sharing service of Munich (2015-2025).

They make the raw data of their rides available for download. Let's explore these data.

Viewing

If you are viewing this on GitHub, you can just open the Jupyter Notebook mvg-rad.ipynb to see my statistics and maps.

Development summary

If you want to check out the code and do your own analysis, here a few hints:

• This project uses uv to manage dependencies. See uv installation instructions.
• Use uv sync to install the dependencies.
• Download the raw data from the MVG Rad download page. Unpack them end put them in the folder raw-data.
• The latest file, MVG_Rad_Fahrten_2024.csv is encoded in iso-8859-1, not UTF-8 like the other files. You need to convert it to UTF-8 manually.
• Launch the Jupyter Notebook mvg-rad.ipynb.
