Tom Bazan has received July’s ridership figures from Metro, and they are impressive — in a declining sort of way:
Total System boardings dropped 7.2% from 7,654,803 in July 2004 down to
7,106,029 for July 2005.
I don’t know if I’d call that a “booming” ridership. And just think how much more ridership Metro can kill off with $2 billion!
Also, don’t forget that Metro’s latest round of service “adjustments” go into effect on Sunday.
