American City and County: In 2015, Americans took 10.6 billion trips on public transportation, the third highest annual ridership in over a decade, according to American Public Transportation Association figures. Overall, from 1995-2015, public transit ridership increased by 37 percent, almost double the growth of the overall population.
There are a variety of reasons for this, from increases in technologies to shifting demographics to a societal impulse to return to urban dwelling. Regardless of the reasons, the fact remains that residents want transit – they want it to be fast, convenient, safe and practical.
