Light Ridership Total On Light Rail

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Eyewitness News should find out Tuesday how LYNX light rail did Monday.

 

Many call that the train's first real day because it was the first day riders had to pay.

 

It looks like the numbers will be lower than expected. Transit officials predicted more than 9,000 riders opening day, but by Monday's afternoon rush hour they counted only 2,500 commuters.

 

Riders thought they'd have more company too. Jeremy Hurst took LYNX from the Pineville area to his job in Uptown Charlotte. He said, "I kind of expected it to be busier because, when i got on this morning, there were maybe only 10 people riding with me."

 

Some blame low turnout on the rain. Others think the fact that people had to pay kept some riders away.
