How to find measure of central tendency for income of persons who have boarded a particular train on a particular date at the originating station?
Morning,
I think the measure is the same: surveying on the income. If I were you, I would enter trains of different types to different time and survey (quantitative questionnaire). Remeber that directly asking about income in the train might be interpreted wrong. So ask about other things such as personality, time management, type of travel (vacations, commute). At the end ask the "general questions" and among them the income tendency. I hope I understood your question correctly...

Hi Ankit,
As Yevgen has explained you can direclty ask the income question. However, you can be faced to an important level of non-response. If you can't ask direclty this question, you must use indirect solution. For example, do you have information on person's diploma, as diploma can be a good proxis of income. Moreover, do you have information on users' value of time? a quite standard hypothesis is as following : the value of time distibution is similar to the income distribution.

Don't ask any questions. Instead, get the vehicle license numbers of people parked in the lot and the vehicles dropping off train travelers. From that, it may be possible to locate where the travelers originate. Use the data relating to these locations. Could this work?
