I also find it interesting how many people forget that other routes run on Broadway, notably the 17 UBC from Granville to UBC, but also the 16 Arbutus (between Granville and Arbutus), the 17 Oak (between Pine and Oak), the 8 Fraser (Between Main and Fraser).
I wonder if the ridership data collected shows the Broadway trips that are handled by buses other than 9 or 99?
If so, how can these numbers be folded into the ridership stats for Broadway?
ie: if I need to get to Maple from Granville, I'll take whatever WB bus comes first - 9, 16, or 17 - but will a trip on the 16 or 17 be considered a 'broadway trip' in the ridership stats?
