STM is weird since they reported the correct info last year. Last year STM reported 2.5 million riders per weekday to APTA, and this year they reported 1.4 million riders per weekday. I find it hard to believe that STM's ridership dropped by over 40 percent in one year. |

The MBTA Green Line extension will boost Green Line ridership, but the extension is some years away. By then, LA will have opened how many additional miles of light rail? |
When is the MBTA Green Line extension projected to be completed?

Modified the quotes to account for Sandy; red indicates the agency lost at least 1 day due to Sandy (from what I can remember; a "day" lost includes at least one rush hour missed or much of a weekend day, but not an evening only). Those in orange I can't remember shutting down for Sandy but could be wrong.

What does STM's lower revenue per boarding mean? Maybe STM has a higher rate of transfers than Translink (i.e. fewer boardings resulting in fare revenue). Maybe the fares are lower (Translink is a regional system with multiple fare zones). MaybeSTM has more regular users (i.e. more users of weekly/monthly passes compared to cash fare payments). What is the significance of it though? 414 million boardings means STM has less than half the ridership of the TTC. That makes no sense at all. 414 million is actually the revenue ridership, not boardings. |
STM have about half of fare revenue compared to TTC though (TTC's revenue from fare is around 1 billion). If STM have similar boarding compared to TTC, does that mean TTC riders paid twice as much in average?

New York also includes the New Jersey Transit corp (NJTransit) numbers, but in the report they don't include dayle ridership, I know. Anyway, it should be about the same number as MetroNorth, since they carry a similar number of people. It is remarkable the case of SLC FrontRunner, since the APTA daily ridership numbers don't reflect the true increment of people yet. Since the ridership is an average of the entire quarter and the expansion to Provo was opened on december 10th, it can only show a fragment of the true increment of the ridership by now. But you can get a clue when you see the monthly ridership numbers: OCT'12 147300 / NOV'12 139200, but in december, and even with the extension open only on two thirds of the month, a whoping 331700 people. With that, SLC could easily pass Seattle and maybe even Miami to get to the 9th or 8th place. |

What were Pittsburgh's previous numbers? I was thinking that this number was low, but I seem to remember the T having fewer than 25k daily riders... |

APTA separates motorbuses from trolley buses, which is cool in some ways but kind of messes with the "bus agency" stats. We should probably just add them together. Q4 weekday ridership on SF Muni trolley buses was 200,300; 76,300 on Seattle's King County Department of Transit; 19,600 on Philly's SEPTA; 11,600 on Boston's MBTA.
I also added Oakland's AC Transit, which clocks in at #19.

You could build a metro ranking, but you'd have to add a lot of agencies for a lot of cities. We have something around 20 providers in the DC area other than WMATA, and lots of other cities are similar. |
