It is of utmost importance to understand the networkwide transit service needs for future planning and effective funding allocations. For this purpose, this study proposes a methodology that uses a zone’s transit potential demand as an indicator to prioritise them for public transport-related improvements. This study utilises observed demand (referred to as served demand) from smartcard data to estimate the potential demand. The smartcard data is used to estimate the observed demand of a zone, based upon which high and low trip zones are segregated. An ensemble tree-based Gradient Boosting model is trained and validated using observed trips by employing demographics, socio-economic, and geographic variables. From the analysis, zones with high and low potential demand are identified. Based on the estimated potential demand per unit area, all the zones are clustered into four groups identifying the areas with the lowest, low, medium, and high transit improvement requirements.
