[PRCo] Railway Patronage

[Fred Schneider]

I just looked at a piece from the Salt Lake City newspaper -- TRAX  
patronage, which was running around 40,000 passengers a day is now up  
to 57,500 on a typical weekday.   Absolutely astounding for a one a  
half line system.   Except for the fact that it is so long and  
therefore that the passenger miles are low, it would be one of the  
best success stories in the nation.    Now if they were charging zone  
fares ... WOW would it be a winner.   I'll have to take a new look at  
it on the way back from Vancouver this summer.
