It is afterall the Headquarters of a world wide church, thus the influence. Anyway, what time of day were you riding trax? The ridership numbers are actually pretty high for Trax, according to the Deseret Morning News, with the new counting system ridership in 2007 averaged 40,294 riders per weekday. May numbers for FrontRunner were 6,419 and in June they rose 26% to 7,809. Not bad considering it was just over a month and half old. I would estimate that both ridership numbers have increased in the past several month due to rising gas prices. I would also suspect that many of those 7,809 FrontRunner riders are also new Trax riders, even if only 50% of them then road trax that would bump trax ridership to over 44,000. I would guess closer to 75% FrontRunner riders transfer to Trax.
