Munich Open Data

During this year’s summer break there had been a railway construction site which affected the train I usually use for commuting to work. This led to a lot of additional commuting time. Thus, I decided to repair my old mountain bike and give it a try to go to work by bike. During the one hour ride I wondered how many people made the same decision and if there would be any data about Munich bike traffic with the use of which I could get some insights about Munich’s bike traffic.

Everybody knows the Oktoberfest which takes place in Munich every year. In this blog post series we are going to look into a public availabe dataset and try to gain some insights about the Oktoberfest. In the first part we loaded and described the data. We also analysed the price and consumption of beer and hendl (chicken) over the years. In this second part we are going to have a closer look at the Bavarian Central Agricultural Festival - also known as “ZLF”.
