| The Staten Island ferries are decreasing in ridership, although there has been heightened demand at other ferry crossings. |
| The majority of ridership on a transit line comes from about 300 metres around every station. |
| Partly because of their efforts, the island's public bus system has expanded, ridership is way up, and auto traffic is at least manageable. |
| Amtrak logged a record 24 million passengers last year and ridership jumped 80 percent during the Thanksgiving holiday. |
| Taking the bus is a personal choice, but the GRT should encourage ridership instead of offering alternative means of transportation. |
| Studies comparing annual ridership rank New York City's subway system the fifth largest in the world. |
