Bicycle awareness up in SF, public transportation down? (H/T – Minus Car Project)

The Minus Car Project has a great story about bicycle awareness in Sioux Falls, and the fact that Mayor Mike knows how to ride a bike (without the help of Hildebrand Strategies of course);

And the trends are looking remarkably MINUSCAR!

a four point drop for single occupant automobiles.

a steady rise in carpooling

a steady rise in walking

a steady rise in biking

While I find this data pretty fricking cool and am worried about something;

Notice that public transportation ridership is down from 1999. I hope the new council and mayor do something about it. I know that Huether and the the council candidates talked about fixing public transportation in Sioux Falls, and I hope they follow thru.
