Ridership on Tecumseh Transit was down in 2016.
According to figures from the town, total ridership for 2016 was 27,003 comped to 2015 when total ridership was 28,846.
According to a report to Town Council, the decrease is largely attributed to an 825 passenger decrease in ridership at the Tecumseh Mall bus stop and a 579 passenger decrease in ridership during the 2016 Corn Festival Shuttle Service.
2016 overall average daily ridership was 88 passengers compared to the 92 passengers in 2015.
