This service implementation • <br />was a reco;nrend^_tion of the Anoka and Ramsey Counties Route Ridership Im- <br />prove;.ent. Projects. <br />The cost of this implementation was approximately $145.00 per day. After <br />six (6) months, the service had reached about 115 passengers per day with <br />revenue cf approxiFiately $53.00.
