Busses saw 2.46 million riders, 3.23 million boardings, a full 44% increase from last September.
The LRT had 424 thousand riders and 550 thousand boardings, a 38% increase from last September
System reliability took a hit to 61.7%. Probably has something to do with how busy the busses are getting!
Boardings take time! If you have 10 people lined up to get on the bus at a single stop, that bus is going to sit for a minute. And then it will take that additional time to let everyone off at their eventual stop, too. Makes sense that more riders slows the system down, but that means GRT needs to find ways to mitigate that (tap-on boardings at the rear door might help, for example)
