Transit lines in Vermont are now reporting with confidence that ridership is up due to rising gas prices. Deerfield Valley Transit, the Brattleboro BeeLine, and Connecticut River Transit are just a few of the states' transit providers seeing jumps in ridership. The BeeLine expects their number of riders to hit 70,000 at the end of their 2008 year - a 20,000 rider increase over 2006. Connecticut River Transit has seen a 10 percent increase in both March and April and attributes people getting on the bus to their frustration at the pump. With increased ridership across the board, many of the Green Mountain State's bus companies are looking to better their services in any way possible, which for some means buying more buses, increasing routes, purchasing biodiesel, and most importantly looking for grant money.
