If you figure the average new commuter is taking 2 trips per day, 20 days per month, that’s 20,000 people… and if most people dont take as many trips, it’s even more.. .and over twice that in May? That’s pretty amazing.

Yes, you’re right. Those were the most recent numbers the PR department had available. Delivered to my inbox on 6/9.

Wheatley’s numbers are April, but when Scott mentions the 14% in the interview above she says “last month”, which would be May.

So I guess we can say it was up 7% in April and 14% in May…

Wow…a million more riders a month than last year…and gas was still only $3.50 in April.
