As a data scientist in the transportation industry, monitoring and analyzing key metrics is essential for understanding and managing ride demand effectively. Here’s how I would approach the question:

Ride Request Volume: The total number of ride requests received over specific time intervals (e.g., per minute, per hour) provides a fundamental measure of demand.

Service Uptake Rate: This metric indicates the percentage of ride requests that are successfully matched with available transportation services, reflecting demand satisfaction.

Average Wait Time: Monitoring the time passengers wait for their rides can help identify periods of high demand, especially when wait times increase.

Real-time Booking Rate: Analyzing the rate at which new ride requests are made in real time can signal surges in demand.
