The cold weather earlier this week seems to have prompted more people to get on the bus instead of walk to their destination.
CityBus reports a record number of passengers rode the bus Tuesday, January 22. The number of riders was 33,476. The previous one-day record was 33,042 set January 12, 2012.
Another record was broken Tuesday. The Silver Loop, which travels the Purdue campus, carried 9,879 riders.
“People who might normally walk short distances decided to ride the bus instead,” said Tonya
Agnew, manager of development. “The great thing about riding CityBus is there’s no need to scrape the frost off of your car windshield or worry about your car starting in the cold.”
