I'm wondering, if fares go up and ridership goes down, where are those lost riders going? They still need to get to work. Do higher transit fares raise car trips as much as they lower pubic ridership, or are these people finding rides with existing drivers, car-pooling, bicycles, etc.? And do the lost riders eventually come back to public transit anyway?
