So what about these stats? Do we believe them?

• 81% of riders say they have a car available but prefer to ride TriMet, or they choose not to own a car because they prefer TriMet.
• 81% of residents in the TriMet service area (age 16 and older) say they ride TriMet to some degree, and 43% ride "a couple of times a month or more."
• About half (51%) of riders say they use a combination of buses and MAX, 37% use MAX only, and 13% use buses only.
• 83% of frequent/regular riders say they approve of the job we're doing.
