Connect Transit Lesson

By: Diane Benjamin

In April Connect Transit had 236,419 riders and LOST $1,817,763.25.

In May Connect Transit had 164,712 riders and LOST $1,513,145.08.

Riders decreased by 30.33%.

Operating losses decreased by 16.76% with fewer riders.

Moral of the story: Quit trying to increase ridership since all that means is losing more money.

Since CT has both Federal and State lobbyists, they approved spending $11,500 a month to keep the money rolling in. See May packet.

Are the non-working electric buses still parked on their property?

Connect paid KL2 for a nationwide search for a new Chief Executive Officer and then hired a current employee: Brady Lange.
