Compare Graphs of Different User Types

One of the easiest ways we can see differences between the graphs is by plotting a small subgraph of each one. If different patterns are strong, they should be easy to visually detect. As you look at these two different plots, what stands out? It's worth taking a moment to think about the differences between these two populations. While there's doubtless overlap between these two groups, what are some different traits between each population? Subscribers are probably regular users, local, and might be more likely to travel to more remote parts of the graph. Customers are likely tourists or locals who don't bike regularly. Their use is probably more centered in major stations, and they might ride more for leisure in some of the touristy parts of the city.
