Costs Outpacing Ridership Gains for Most Local Transit
(Washington Examiner) — Local transit agencies are providing more trips than in the past but the costs to provide them are rising far faster, according to a new report, putting the burden on riders and taxpayers who pay the way.
The cost of running Metro has grown by at least 28 percent over a four-year period, according to the draft report from the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board, more than five times faster than ridership has grown in that same time.
