There still has to be an "average" number of passengers carried each
weekday on the East Busway on all routes. The average number of light rail
passengers (from all rail routes) is over 24,000 per day. I just need to
know the "KISS" rough average of all passengers carried on the East Busway.
Where they come from makes no difference.
The PATransit website gives light rail and "total" bus (all routes
systemwide) figures for each day but does not break down the difference
between local bus, express, and Busway daily totals.
