Thanks!
It's a real pain that ridership isn't part of the Open Data initiatives. I wonder if we could build a model to approximate ridership based on the estimated time buses are stopped at a stop's location... it wouldn't be accurate, but it might be the best measure we have.
At the very least, we could see if the time spent at stops is increasing or decreasing over time, which might be a decent canary for ridership levels...
