Debunking the propaganda

It's taking me some time to wade through this propaganda to find the actual figures but the chart on the left seems to be a month to month chart of the past year.

Now if I am reading this correctly, which I think I am, it appears that Trimet ridership is actually falling over the last several months!

The little news release talks about the wonderful increases in Max ridership compared to a year ago, but the reality appears to be that both bus and max ridership has decreased in similar patterns over the last 3  or so months!
