Every day, thousands of buses operate across Russia, transporting millions of passengers. Efficient public transport planning requires a clear understanding of **where and when** the demand for bus rides will be highest.

In this competition, your task is to develop a **model to forecast bus travel demand**. Using historical data from **2021–2022**, participants must predict the **demand for the following month**.

Accurate forecasts will help transportation companies to:
