ANOTHER BORING TRIMET RIDERSHIP REPORT PRAISING THE USELESS GREEN LINE AND WES

Blah blah blah....I'm bored with these silly releases and their attempts to spin everything to support their rail expansion....I got news for them....PEOPLE AIN'T BUYING WHAT YOU ARE SELLING!

TriMet: News Release - TriMet ridership continues upward climb

I find it interesting that on Saturdays and Sundays, MAX and bus ridership are pretty damn close to each other.

But during rush hour, bus has twice the ridership as MAX.

I also find it interesting that TriMet bends over backwards to publish Green Line and WES ridership...but does nothing to actually advertise ridership for any other route.

And...bus ridership is 4.1% weekly and MAX only 2.8% Keep in mind that 1% of MAX ridership is equal to 2% of bus ridership, so the bus ridership increase is actually the equivalent of 8% of the MAX ridership.

And...of course, WES...TriMet's always playing with numbers. 15% of WES ridership is...what, 18 new riders?
