The Broadway Shuttle has proven to be a huge success thus far in Oakland.  The San Francisco Chronicle reports that after less than five months of service, ridership has grown to nearly 2,000 passengers per day.  The city is now close to expanding service until 1am on weekends to tap into the emerging dining and entertainment destinations in the Downtown, Uptown, and Jack London Square areas.  The success of the shuttle further demonstrates the positive economic impacts of expanding transportation options along the corridor, and bodes well for the city's long-term goal of replacing the shuttle with a streetcar.
