Summary	This study proposes several analytical processes to estimate overall and bus-riding OD matrices based on the call detail record data (CDR). The CDR records each individual’s whole day moving trip chain as long as the cell phone is switched on. We first cut the entire trip chain into a series of distinct trips. Then, we compare the CDR of each trip to the bus real time information to determine whether a bus is taken. As a result, the OD matrices and bus-riding matrices could be obtained. These matrices could be used to estimate the potential bus-riding demands, which serve the basis to improve the public transit system. According to the field tests, we validate that the proposed methodology could effectively distinguish whether the bus is taken or not. The testing results show that the accuracy rate is about 0.8.
