Phoenix light rail almost doubles projected ridership in first six months

I wrote about the new Phoenix light rail opening back in December 2008. Here is a report that the ridership is at 35k to 40k per month, where they had only projected 25k. That is great success in such a car-centric area and temperature extreme area as Phoenix. With their huge nuke plant and solar potential, I can see them succeeding from the USA with John McCain as President of Arizona when oil hits USD 100 per barrel again *grin*. Good job Phoenix!
