Demographics

More and more travellers are choosing transit. Millennials in particular are opting for transit passes instead of driver's licenses. According to the Who’s On Board: 2014 Mobility Attitudes Survey, in the South alone 20% of people under 30 use transit at least once a week and 11% use it to commute at least 3-4 times per week.

Still, some ride transit not because of its conveniences, but because it's the only way they can get around. Aging adults or persons with disabilities, those who cannot afford the costs of car ownership, and veterans that need transport to medical appointments all depend daily on their local transit systems.
