Colin in the News: Comic-Con Uses Its Super Powers To Help Fill San Diego Trolley Cars

Colin Parent, policy counsel at the transit advocacy group Circulate San Diego, has experienced the influx of new riders firsthand.

“You see enormous differences in how packed those cars are during those peak event periods,” Parent said.

July might have been last year’s ridership superhero, but it was more Ant Man than Superman. An inewsource analysis of trolley ridership found that July, August, September and October all had higher numbers of passengers than the monthly average.
