Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk), Tdorante10 (talk), and Epicgenius (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 03:18, 23 August 2017 (UTC).

@Epicgenius: GA on the 16th, proposed on the 23rd—looks to be two and a half hours late, but that's insignificant. Long enough, hook and article are sourced, no copyvios seen. Needs QPQ. Also, can you think of any hookier hooks? Pinging @Tdorante10: as well for suggestions, because "more people rode the subway when the bus route got cancelled" seems pretty weak. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:29, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: I added ALT1 for consideration. ~~In the meantime, I will do QPQ for my DYKs on Monday. epicgenius (talk) 01:37, 27 August 2017 (UTC)~~ I have done my QPQ. Pinging. epicgenius (talk) 00:23, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Looks good, approving ALT1.
