Tuscaloosa transit game-day ridership increasing

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Tuscaloosa transportation officials say the agency’s football game-day ridership numbers on pace to set a new record.

Director of the Tuscaloosa Transit Authority Russell Lawrence tells the Tuscaloosa News (https://bit.ly/1u57wta ) that the transit authority has served almost twice as many riders during the University of Alabama’s three home games so far than it did last year.

The newspaper reports about 2,400 riders used the transit service when it launched in 2010. The number is up to an average of about 4,400 riders per home game this season.
