Sunday, October 9, 2005:
Kenosha WI "News" columnist Bill Guida bguida at k... , who does an 
imitation Mike Royko-like column in the local Sunday Kenosha "News" 
....... compared the projected 300,000-annual attendance figures of the 
proposed new Civil War Museum to "puffery".

Guida went on to say "I couldn't see anyone taking the projected visitor 
numbers any more seriously than the unbelievably optimistic ridership 
figures for the city's trolley (sic) reported annually."

That concluded his remarks on the streetcars yesterday.  (He gave no 
factual reasons for his pessimism.)

The City's annual figures for the current line are in the 60,000+ range, 
as reported in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which added the line is 
the only SE WI transit system to show a ridership increase for 2003-2004.

If my math is good that works out to 164.4 passengers  A  Day  On  
Average    ----    assuming a 7-day week - actual operations may not be 
7-day in which case actual ridership/day would be Higher!!
