AFAIK ION ridership has nearly completely rebounded.
Also, this is an argument FOR ION...ION captured ridership from demographics which had choices about how they get around, as opposed to buses which are more less likely to capture ridership from people who have other transportation options.
Further, he has a backwards causation...but in his defense, god damn transportation planners make the same error...arguing that service cuts respond to rather than induces changes in ridership.
