ITEM 1:

I hope this information will be useful for you and your readers. Based upon what I found in your numbers from the CAPITOLS, I wanted to try and give you an "apples-to-apples" comparison of ridership, on-time performance, etc. Certainly, since we run far fewer trains (as you will see below) and only run on weekdays, comparatively speaking, you will see many interesting statistics and similarities. In July 2007, CC saw approximately 120 passengers per train for their weekday trains. Then, in 2008, CC saw an increase of 30.8% at 157 average per train per weekday. CC has 32 trains per weekday.In July 2007, ACE saw approximately 371 passengers per train for their weekday trains. Then, in 2008, ACE saw an increase of 23.2% at 457 average per train per weekday.
