German term

Umsteiger einfach gezählt

German to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Beförderte Personen in Mio. 442,2
(Umsteiger einfach gezählt)

Taken from a list of statistics about a public transportation company.

Does this mean something along the lines of transfer passengers are counted only once?

Thanks.

transfer passengers counted once

Total passengers arriving, departing and direct transit passengers
counted once.

A perennial issue regarding transit "ridership" is how it should be counted. Alternatives-analysis models generally give outputs in terms of "linked trips" – that is, the number of "end-to-end" trips made by transit, ignoring the number of transfers en route. The transit industry once reported "revenue passengers" – the number of fare-paying passengers (and, typically, the number of "transfer passengers"). Today, transit operators report "boardings" – the number of passengers who board a vehicle.

Bus changers on journeys with one end destination are only counted once.

for the purposes of the survey passengers who break their journeys to their destination are considered to have only made one journey.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Cilian O'Tuama : don't see any reason to believe they're referring to bus trips

unweighted - simple count

Perhaps

Simple count or unweighted count would work here.
