Load factor is a measure of how efficiently a transportation service, such as a plane, train, or bus, fills its available seats or space over a period of time. It is calculated by dividing the actual number of passengers or usage by the total available capacity. A higher load factor indicates better utilization, which can lead to more profitable operations and is important for investors assessing the efficiency and profitability of transportation companies.
