For instance, why 1957? Was ridership even higher than that before 1957? I'm guessing so, because the great flight to suburbia had already begun and was well underway by 1957.

Here's hoping that this data prompts Arlington, TX - home to the Texas Rangers and largest American city without so much as a bus system - to get off their car-centric asses and finally do something for their citizens.
