Times-Union looking for people who ride the Skyway

[tufsu1]

I think the math is about right....in 2009, the system averaged about 1800 riders a day....36,000/20 (remember it rarely runs on Sat. and Sunday).

If JTA had betting recording/reporting, we wouldn't be squabbling over these numbers.  They would be facts, not estimates.

I would like to send out my condolences to tufsu, however.  Sorry bud,  but there aren't  135 weekend days a year.  We can dream, but it just ain't gonna happen.  Not trying to be a stickler for numbers, but you were off by 30% and I think that needs to be addressed.  (you take your number, 135, subtract the real number (103-105), and then divide by the real number).

I usually ride between 5 and 6 from the southbank to the northbank.  I ride on weekdays usually without a special occasion going on DT.  I see at least 5 people per car.  All of you folks need to quit staring at the skyway while you drive.  It's unsafe.

This year is going to be even higher, I think.

The numbers of people on the skyway have doubled during peak times to my eye.

I think the numbers for 2010 are at least 2000 per month....and climbing

Gentlemen.......I can only base my observations on that morning slot where I can see the numbers in the A of M! I have not been that route in the afternoon.........so if the collective mind says 2k per day, then the afternoon or later in the morning rush hour must be the high points, not when I roll through there around 0745 plus or minus 5 minutes! This coming 8th will be at the City Hall meet and will be looking when I come through there!
