I'm sure the unseasonably warm February helped, but it's really good to see the South Side lines all also having strong gains. Based on some earlier data analysis I posted here, it was trailing but this time the Blue Line has really strong growth and all the other lines have comparably strong growth - excellent.

The senior free rides thing was absolutely stupid. Thank goodness it was eliminated.
Even Red and Brown line ridership has strong growth of over 7% each.
