> These days, the service runs about 37,000 trips a week, Lentz said, or more than two and a half times the 26,000 rides the old bus system ran in a typical, pre-pandemic week.

Are "trips" different from "rides" in some way that makes this arithmetic correct?

Sounds like a "trip" is roundtrip (two rides) - so 37,000 trips is 74,000 rides, which is more than deuce and a half times 26,000.
