Ridership is Way Up! 🚍 Plus, Take the Transportation Survey 😃
Ridership is Way Up!
Exceeds pre-pandemic levels.
Since January, there has been steady growth in bus ridership throughout the Greater Bridgeport region.
In August, more than 462,00 trips were taken, and in September more than 491,000 trips were taken, making September the highest ridership month since the before of the pandemic. Welcome back!
One measurement of bus service productivity is the number of trips per hour of service. In August, there were 32.67 trips per bus, per hour.
And, in September, there were 36.97 trips per bus, per hour. This exceeds GBTs pre-pandemic ridership levels, and the pre-pandemic national average which was 27 trips per bus, per hour.
“On a bus, your eyes, ears, and pores are open, absorbing in the variety, the wonder, the magic of the city. It is a beautiful way to get to know the city.”
— George Takei
