DRI Corporation Notes Continued Growth in U.S. Transit Ridership.

* Approximately 2.53 Billion Transit Trips Taken in U.S. During Third Quarter 2007

* Improving Business Trends

DALLAS -- DRI Corporation (DRI) (NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the domestic and international surface transportation and transit security markets, noted today that, according to the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) recent ridership report, Americans took 2.53 billion trips on public transportation during third quarter 2007, up nearly 50 million trips over the same period a year ago.

"We view ridership, such as that reported by APTA in our U.S. served market, to be one of several indicators of potential future market trends for our products - an indicator that is pointing in the right direction. As U.S. mass transit ridership increases, we believe that we are positioned to help original equipment manufacturers and transit authorities meet passenger expectations and demands. Transit ridership increases are good for the environment, energy conservation, and this Company," David L. Turney, the Company's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said.

"Increased ridership potentially brings an increased demand for transportation-related equipment in DRI Corporation's domestic market, which represents roughly half of our revenue. Our products help transit authorities work toward lowering carbon emissions and improving the environment, offer greater mobility services to riders, and enhance the safety and security of their passengers and fleets. We are excited to see these continued increases in U.S. transit ridership, and believe that it feeds into DRI's overall growth plans," Mr. Turney said.
