This is an encouraging sign to say the least. While mass transit is only viable to most people in relatively dense urban settings, the fact that ridership has gone up shows that they may see a load shift from low occupancy vehicles and all the things that come with it(parking, varying fuel stations, etc) may dwindle and lead to an even greater footprint for MTA and the like. While I do believe that fuel prices have something to do with the increased ridership, I also think that the improved security and patrolling of transit areas from the 80's to today allow a far more diverse group of people to utilize the system.
