To find the standard quotas for each route, we use the formula:

\[
\text{Standard Quota} = \frac{\text{Daily Ridership}}{\text{Standard Divisor}}
\]

Here, the standard divisor is given as 0.97 thousand (thousands of passengers per bus). Now, we'll calculate the standard quota for each route using the daily ridership values in the table.

Let me compute that for you.The standard quotas for each route are as follows:

- Route A: 41.37
- Route B: 32.12
- Route C: 21.12
- Route D: 14.48
- Route E: 10.71
- Route F: 9.19

These values represent the number of buses that would be apportioned to each route based on the daily ridership and the standard divisor.

Do you want further details or explanations on any part of this? 

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How is the standard divisor determined in such problems?
2. Why is rounding to two decimal places important in this calculation?
3. What would happen if the total number of buses changed?
4. How do different ridership values affect the standard quotas?
5. What is the significance of the standard quota in transit planning?

**Tip:** When working with standard divisors and quotas, ensure that all units are consistently represented to avoid errors in interpretation.

The Scotia Metropolitan Area Rapid Transit Service operates six bus routes (A, B, C, D, E, and F) and 129 buses. The number of buses apportioned to each route is based on the number of passengers riding that route. The table below shows the daily average ridership (in thousands) on each route. The standard divisor is 0.97 thousand. Find the standard quotas for each route.
