TriMet scores record ridership in April
By Associated PressPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - TriMet MAX and buses broke new records for ridership in April. Officials say there were nearly 69,000 more transit trips each week. More than two million trips were taken on MAX and buses each week. That's the first time TriMet has topped two million trips for weekly ridership. Nearly 69,000 more trips were taken weekly during April 2008, as compared to April 2007. And 5,400 additional daily trips were taken on transit during the morning rush hour, as compared to April 2007. This adds up to an 11.6 percent increase over April 2007. TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen says the record ridership increases show that riders are choosing transit to help offset high fuel prices. (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.
