Hopefully, the quarterly reports they have promised will give us a better idea and much more detailed information. I was kind of surprised at the drop in Sunday ridership as I had been told they felt the weekends had grown. Recreational use appears strong but the weekly numbers look great. I have a feeling the ASU students have a little to do with weekly numbers as I believe they were still on winter break for much of Jan. Hi Eric, I am also curious about those numbers.

Interesting switch from Jan -> Feb, it looks like the line might be settling more into a weekday commuter ridership pattern. Do you know if any numbers are available on the effect the new LRT line has had on the system as a whole? I was interested in how many of these 30K LRT riders are brand new transit riders, or whether they shifted over from nearby bus routes.
