Even though gas prices plummeted in 2008's second half, transit agencies continued to post steady ridership gains. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) was no exception.
In November, ridership rose 2.3 percent compared with November 2007's total, according to a Boston Globe article posted on MBTA's Web site. Ridership on the agency's commuter-rail system recorded the largest gain, increasing 5.5 percent year over year.
During 2008's first 11 months, ridership rose 4.5 percent.
