What do you want me to prove? You have proven that King County
Metro's ridership is about that of all of TriMet's. I have claimed
that Metro's transit ridership increases have been greater than TriMet's.

Here's the proof for that:

2008 ridership increase 7%:

2007 ridership increase (largest in the nation):

2005: http://your.kingcounty.gov/kcdot/news/2005/nr051019_ridership.htm

2006: http://your.kingcounty.gov/kcdot/news/2007/nr070108_ridership.htm

As you already found out, TriMet couldn't claim a ridership increase
in 2005-2007, when bus ridership dropped. With MAX ridership,
TriMet's numbers were a paltry 1-2% at most until 2008.
