Aiming for 500,000 fares in 2017
T3 transit — operating in Charlottetown, Stratford and Cornwall — marked 12 years of service on Saturday with a record-setting month.
T3 notched 50,751 fares in September, its busiest month ever.
"We are continuing to break our daily, monthly and weekend benchmark records and hope to achieve a total of 500,000 passenger fares by the end of 2017," said T3 Transit owner Mike Cassidy in a news release.
T3 also marked its best day ever on Sept. 22, with 2,425 fares.
The company launched on Sept. 30, 2005 with just a few buses in Charlottetown, and has since grown to cover commuter routes around the greater Charlottetown area.
