Correct Answer:
A
To determine how many departing passengers access the front-end per hour, including those reconnecting:
1. Total Departing Passengers in January:
o 465,000 passengers transported throughout January.
2. Duration of Operations in January:
o Operating hours: 07:00 to 23:00, which equals 16 hours per day.
o Total days in January: 31 days.
o Total operating hours in January: 31 days * 16 hours/day = 496 hours.
3. Passengers Per Hour:
o Total passengers: 465,000.
o Total hours of operation: 496 hours.
o Passengers per hour: 465,000 passengers / 496 hours = 937.5 passengers/hour.
4. Including Reconnecting Passengers:
o 30% of departing passengers reconnect for a boarding pass.
o Reconnecting passengers: 30% of 937.5 passengers/hour = 0.30 * 937.5 = 281.25 passengers/hour.
o Total front-end accesses per hour: 937.5 + 281.25 = 1,218.75 passengers/hour.
Given the available options, the closest correct value is A. 1,425.00 departing passengers / hour.
