ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County Transit Resources (ACTR) is cruising into the fall with record ridership numbers, a revitalized bus fleet and a plan to give customers real-time updates on the timeliness of its bus runs.

The county’s public transportation organization released figures last week showing its fleet of 16 buses had dispensed a combined total of 156,000 rides during the 12 months preceding June 30, 2011. That’s 22-percent higher than ACTR’s previous record year, officials said.
