OC's Metrolink Use Climbs over 5%

Who said Southern California people are their own cause for traffic?   Is it because so many people drive their own car to work rather than car pool or using mass transit?   Please keep in mind that mass transit underground is difficult for us to engineer because of earthquakes.

Well in The OC, mass transit above ground use is up (Metrolink)...so the impact of rising fuel costs is creating some compromise and some creativity for Orange County travelers.  Metrolink use was up in the first quarter of 2008, so just wait for the mid year report as fuel costs continue to spike!  A survey of income earnings for 2007 show that the average income of a Metrolink rider was above $72,000. 

Bus rideship has changed very little and the same survey showed earnings for those riding a bus is about $32,000 per year.
