Ridership may continue to rise and rise until there is a transit strike.
Then it will be start-over time.

"Steeler FANS"!    No bigger fans than myself and Mark M here in
Jacksonville.
In Jacksonville the JTA transportation company, is putting smaller buses in
many areas and also
going into outlying counties (with the outside counties) picking up the tabs
on these special runs,
but overall ridership is up in the First Coast Florida Area.
