The numbers were way up in the beginning because it was a novelty at first. Now that the "newness" has worn off and everyone has gotten their joy ride in, no one seems to be riding it because of functional purposes.
My answer is that downtown Cincinnati doesnt need any kind of transportation solution. Its not that big. If you want to get somewhere then you can either walk, take a red bike (rent and drop bike rental on many street corners), etc.
Like I said, I could have gotten behind the light rail idea. I think a connection from downtown Cincinnati to its out landing suburbs is something that this city is missing. Can you imagine a train that connects Mason to downtown? It would be so beneficial.
