I doubt that reflects local Connecticut Transit ridership. The service is wholly inadequate to support those gaudy numbers, with most routes on 30-minute headways. They must be counting people who drive to the train and take Metro-North in to the city, and/or people who commute into Stamford by train. (For a city of just over 100,000, Stamford boasts an impressive list of corporate employers, led by GTE and Xerox.)
