News item in the T&T:
Nitro Circus Draws Big Crowd, But Few Ride The Bus
https://www.telegraphjournal.com/telegraph-journal/story/100624029?source=daily-digest (pay wall)
Nitro Circus Live was at the Moncton Stadium. The poor transit ridership is hardly a surprise, as the current route system meanders aimlessly through far flung subdivisions in the city, with little apparent coherent thought given to express routing, bus frequency and convenience.
I'm willing to predict a future T&T headline from September of this year:
Keith Urban Draws Big Crowd, But Few Ride The Bus 
I will predict that of the 10,000 in attendance at the Urban concert at the events centre that:
8% will be downtowners and people from inner suburbs willing to walk
7% will be out of towners staying in downtown hotels
5% will ride transit
0.1% will ride a bicycle.
and 80% will ride in their vehicles, clogging every legal parking spot (and some illegal ones) in the core, as well as many parking spots in inner residential neighbourhoods.
In other words, don't plan to go to the Keg, the Pump House, the Tide & Boar or any other popular downtown restaurant that evening. There won't be anywhere for you to park............
