[milwaukee-electric] Light rail ridership is up 4% - Kenosha is up 5%.

[mrcooby]

APTA has released the latest ridership statistics through Dec. 8.

Transit ridership is up about 4%, and Kenosha is up 5%.

Light Rail ridership is up, and in some systems up significantly. The only major system to lose ridership has been Boston, slightly over 1% down. 

Galveston had a 100% loss because Hurricane Ike  destroyed the island and their bus system still isn't running either. 

San Diego was down 2.2% because of significant economic problems in the area and more difficult border-crossing delays which had an effect on their entire metro area ridership.
