See AlsoMTA Bronx bx25 bus Times - NYCRidership on the M101 and M125 has grown more than ridership on the Bx15 and M100 has fallen in response to the shortened routes, increasing total ridership on the 125th Street corridor by 9%.
What about the M60? I know it's a long route that generally sees a lot of ridership to Astoria, but intra-Manhattan ridership is also significant (and the M101 falls in the same boat).
By "increasing total ridership on the 125th Street corridor", I'm inclined to believe they're actually factoring in the M60 with that 9%... The question I'd have is, did the M60 positively or negatively affect that 9%....
Reagrdless, TBH, I question the entire stat, for numerous reasons.... It appears to me that an erroneous conclusion's been derived by, due to conflation.... They're basically trying to convey that the M125 has been this success, that garnered overall ridership increases for the corridor....

I'm a bit confused. Is this compared to the former Bx36 along East 180th Street, or compared to the former Bx40/42 along East Tremont Avenue?
Has to be the former (of the two options you present here).... They're emphasizing E. 180th.
On the old Bx36, those were mainly folks riding towards GWB (more than they were, riding towards Soundview)....
