[PRCo] Re: Riding continues to rise?

[John Swindler]

I see that vehicle 103 carried 45 passengers between 5:50 and 13:40 on Mar. 9th.  Looks like it was in service between Ford City and Lemon Way.  That includes a couple transfers and a third party payment rider.  Recently visited Sharon and Crawford County in your bailiwick, but Mid County not on my short list.  A mini-van might fit the ridership level, but a transit bus lasts much longer.
 
I told my wife that these recent Steeler games are not good for the stress level.  But a win is a win.  First order of business in the morning is to check with co-worker behind me who is a Steeler fan from Dormont.  We've gotten rid of several of the "heathen" Philly fans.
 
To provide a list connection, Mid-County provides transit service along former West Penn routes.  (:>)
 
Cheers
John
