From a
story on Channel3000.com:
Madison Metro has faced criticism in recent years for lagging ridership numbers, but officials say that is changing.
During a Long-Range Metro Transit Planning ad-hoc committee listening session on Monday, officials heard how the service is making large gains in riders. Metro officials said that it has seen a 5-percent increase in ridership in the past six months.
Last year, Metro recorded its largest number of riders in 25 years, WISC-TV reported.
The committee put together a midterm report about the service's financial issues and is seeking input on how people in the city use the service.
"Public transit is playing a more and more important role," said Metro general manager Chuck Kamp. "Ridership is going up, funding from many sources is going down and that is the problem."
