Portland’s TriMet reports record ridership

So 42 Million plus trips and 102 Million passengers for an average of 2.39 passengers per trip. What am I missing here.

I love to visit Portland (and will again in November). Portland knows how to do mass transit (particularly light rail). I will arrive via Amtrak in November for a school board conference, and will use only Max (and their new Orange street car line) to get around.
Good job Tri-Met!

The use of “trips” refers to passenger trips, not vehicle trips. The 102 million passengers inculdes bus passengers.
