   Glad the PABT is working for you at off peak times.  But I know many   
   of the 87,500 people between 7 and 10 am coming in each weekday and   
   the 72,500 people going out between 4 and 7 pm will have a different   
   story to tell.   
      
   FYI:  during those same hours, automobile passenger numbers are 14,000   
   in the morning and 16,700 in the evening.

   Oh, and here's a great story about the mess the PABT is and "plans"   
   to fix it.
