Feb 11 from noon to 1 p.m. Greater Riverside T-NOW meeting at Zacatecas Cafe, 2472 University Avenue. Topices include Legislative Update, Promoting Go Transit, Extending Evening Bus Service, Ridership repoerts for Riverside Special Transportation, Metrolink and Riverside Transit Agency.

Wondering if Greyhound would be willing to give ridership reports for Riverside, and/or the other buses?

If bikes are on the schedule at City Hall, I'm going to do my best to get there. Probably by bike. I don't know, though, if I'll be able to make it to T-NOW. The last time I did it was kind of a fluke, but if I can get away I will.

You know, it couldn't hurt to ask Greyhound. I'll call their media folks on Monday. It might also be useful to get Amtrak/Amtrak California numbers. I *think* Amtrak's numbers are released monthly, but I'm not sure about Amtrak California's bus service.
