I am encouraged by this report, but it's too early to draw any meaningful conclusions from it. Let's see the ridership after most of the half priced 31 day passes (mine included) expire. I do not plan to buy a 31 day pass at full price.

Let's also see the bicycle patronage after the return to standard time and in the rainy season. Bike and SMART is great during DST and dry weather, but will the recreational bike riders (self included) come out during suboptimal conditions? It remains to be seen.
