In 1926, Urban transit ridership in the U.S. reaches 17.2 billion, with more than three-fourths, or about 12.9 billion, of these passengers riding streetcars. Approximately 2.4 billion ride subways.
According to statistics provided by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), ridership in 1926 was almost twice as high as in 2000, despite the much larger population of the country today. The rise of the automobile has contributed significantly to this discrepancy.
