Automatic Passenger Counters (APCs). APCs are devices that count the number of passengers automatically as they board and alight buses at each stop along a route. The benefits of APCs come both in a reduced cost to collect ridership information and in an increase in the amount and quality of data collected. APCs eliminate the need for manual checkers and provide a greater accuracy at busy stops than manual counting. 3, record 1, English, - automatic%20passenger%20counter
