"Overall, subway ridership was down 1.6 percent in September over last year, and bus ridership was off 1.8 percent."
"While subway and bus ridership was down, ridership on ferries over the last 12 months was up 2.9 percent. And the Blue Line saw the biggest growth in ridership on the core subway system, with peak ridership up 18.1 percent from January 2014, while the Red Line saw a 0.6 percent decline and the Orange Line experienced a 2.4 percent drop over the nearly five year span."
"Bus ridership since 2014 was also down 7.9 percent, but MBTA officials stressed that ridership trends were in line nationally with other peer transit systems."
