Multimodal bike-bus interactions in NYC

What is the relationship between bus arrivals and departures from a metropolitan bus stop in New York City, and the bike-share use in their vicinity? Is there a way to assess the interactions between both systems in order to provide advantages to users that transfer between both systems?

By creating a method to simultaneously retrieve real-time geolocated data from both the New York City’s MTA Bus API and Citi Bike’s Open Data live feed, it is possible to measure the possible interaction between both modes. To do so, three bus stop-bike dock pairs were selected among the same MTA Bus route, the M15 Bus in its northward direction on Manhattan’s First Avenue.
