“As the American Public Transportation Association triumphantly reported in March, mass transit ridership in the U.S. reached its highest level since the 1950s last year. But do those crowded buses, subways and commuter trains reflect a long-term trend, or merely a transitory reaction to the price of gasoline?
A newly published study finds a small portion of public transit ridership fluctuation is due to changes in gasoline prices, but one geographer finds that the trends also differ geographically from one metropolitan area to the next.”
From the article “Pump Prices Driving More to Mass Transit” by Tom Jacobs.
