Imagine if each Park and Pillage had its own Jim Archer...
On their Sit and Spin blog today, METRO celebrates the first days of operation of its new HP/Cypress Park and Pillage facility:
Wednesday, January 24, 2007 12:38 PM [sic] On its second day of operation, the new 217 HP/Cypress Park & Ride was a resounding hit with most of its riders.
It had 26 percent higher ridership- or boardings - on opening day than the previous best Park & Ride – and 232 percent more ridership than the average Park & Ride during its first week of operation.
Jim Archer, manager of ridership analysis and service evaluation, stood in the parking lot for all 21 bus trips on Monday and watched passengers get on and off the buses.
That was probably reassuring to people who have heard about the crime at METRO's other Park and Pillages since the decision to remove security staff from the lots.
Unfortunately, Jim Archer probably isn't going to be standing out there every day. Good luck to the folks who park there when he's back in the office!
