Of course, that was before the downfalls in 2014, 2015, and 2016. ION aBRT introduced in 2015 grew from ~2,000/day in 2015 to ~2,700/day in 2017 based on emails I got from GRT, but they haven't responded to my requests about 7+200 ridership since 2014.
Considering they haven't started posting this year's monthly ridership numbers yet I have a feeling some resources are tied up planning launch of LRT.
