[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That is pretty low ridership for a route with that frequency - if the schedule is right they are running about 96 buses a day so that means about 12 people per run. One of the lower frequency buses I ride in DC carries about 7,000 people a day.[/quote] Good grief. Frequency is certainly a major factor in ridership, but it's not the only factor. [/quote] Agreed. But DC buses are 2$ a ride and the circulator is free so even accounting for some lower population density the Circulator doesn’t have greater ride on numbers. I’ve taken it once or twice with my kids as a “whee-we’re riding on a bus around Bethesda” thing, but as a daily commuter it doesn’t take me anywhere I need to go. I would happily dump the Circulator for much more frequent Ride On buses (every 23 minutes during Rush hour is way too slow.)[/quote]
