These 10 companies represent about 80% of total urban transit across the country.

Ridership levels rose to 119.9 million passenger trips in April, a 0.5% increase from the same month a year earlier.

The rise in ridership pushed revenue (excluding subsidies) up 2.3% from April 2008 to $202.2 million.
