Folks, don’t be fooled. Although this 10% sounds somewhat impressive, in reality it only increases ridership from about 50% to about 55%. Remember ridership before COVID averaged 400,000 riders. And kids are going back to school in August/September. Vote NO on any transit tax increases. You’re still paying for ever-increasing union salaries, pensions, and benefits for 100% capacity with only 55% ridership. Wait for these transit unions to show some fiscal management.
