These routes are not analyzed as part of the peak analysis because their target service levels are set by the corridor analysis.

Appendix H: Route-level Ridership (weekday average, Spring 2013 and Spring 2014) The table below contains weekday ridership and platform hour changes between 2013 and 2014 for all routes in the system. This list includes numerous custom bus routes which are excluded from the route analysis provided in this report. Weekday ridership has been rounded to the nearest 100, except where the weekday ridership is below 50 passengers. “ – ” indicates that the route did not operate during that period, therefore no weekday rides or platform hours exist.
