Metro ridership keeps growing
Metro’s bus ridership is like the price of gasoline – it just keeps going up.
During the month of April, Metro averaged 395,000 daily boardings on weekdays. It’s an increase of about 22,000 boardings a day over the average for the same month in 2007 – or, a 5.9 percent increase.
Park-and-ride lots are also seeing increased use. During the first three months of 2008, the 129 lots served by Metro accommodated almost 2,000 more vehicles a day. That equals a 13 percent increase in park-and-ride usage for the first quarter of 2008 compared to first quarter of 2007.
