Transit numbers are highest in 25 years
Metro Transit recorded its highest ridership in a quarter of a century, reporting that it provided more than 77 million rides in 2007. That was up by more than 3.4 million rides over 2006 and the highest total since 1982, the agency said. The totals include Metro Transit buses and Hiawatha Light Rail. "Ridership growth in 2007 is not a one-year phenomenon; it continues a positive trend," said general manager Brian Lamb. Users of express bus service in 2007 increased 4.8 percent over the previous year. Local rides on city routes were up 4.6 percent and the number of rides on the light-rail line went up 1.5 percent, the agency said.
