Your city's daily rail ridership?
I was reading this article on Austin's commuter rail service which is averaging between 2,000 and 3,000 daily riders with higher numbers of 5,000 to 9,400 during festivals.

According to APTA's Q3 report, people make 1,357,800 trips on Chicagoland railroads on an average weekday.

Toronto (from Q3 2012 APTA report):
subway: 946,600 streetcar/light rail: 289,600 commuter rail: 174,300 total: 1,410,500 |

Chicago's numbers in the last report look like a typo. They have nearly 1 million for the El, but in Q3 2011 they had only 729,000. Plus the El number for Q3 2012 is identical to the bus number. There was probably a transcription error. |

For Dallas Fort Worth metroplex
DART light rail = 94,000 TRE = 9,000 DCTA = 1,400 Total = 104,400 |
According to the ATPA New Jersey finally reported correct numbers...kinda...the sources still vary by about 10,000 at most.
Heavy Rail -PATH : 262,000 -PATCO : 36,500 All 3 systems Light Rail : 95,000 Regional Rail : 298,600 |
Los Angeles MTA
December 2012 Red / Purple Line Subway - 158,830 Blue Line LRT - 91,709 Expo Line LRT - 23,193 Green Line LRT - 46,029 Gold Line LRT - 42,295 Total Rail - 362,056 - Dec 2012 (for comparison sake, Dec 2011 was 294,082 and Dec 2010 was 270,199) With the Expo Line Phase 2, Gold Line Foothill Extension, Crenshaw Line, Downtown Connector all under construction, i expect LA to break the 500,000 barrier by 2016 Source - http://www.metro.net/news/ridership-statistics/ |

Melbourne trains: 222,000,000 annual trips (avg 608,219 per day)
Melbourne Trams: 191,600,000 annual trips (avg 524,931 per day) from The Age: http://images.theage.com.au/2012/09/...uses-300x0.jpg |
For Boston (APTA Q3 2012):
Subway, all lines: 540,100 Light Rail, all lines: 255,100 Commuter Rail, all lines: 133,900 Boston Total Daily Rail Ridership: 929,100 ...and now Tokyo (all Q4 2010 data, best I could find right now): JR East, all lines (includes Shinkansen): 16,800,000 Subways, all lines: 8,6602,000 Private Commuter Trains, all lines: 10,378,600 Tokyo Total Daily Rail Ridership: pushing 35 million The Tokyo numbers are a bit deceptive in that a trip on most of the private commuter lines turns into a trip on the subway at a certain point (ex. the commuter Tokyu Toyoko Line from Yokohama to Shibuya turns in to the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line once you move from Shibuya through the central city, and then turns again in to the Tobu commuter line once you leave northern Tokyo and pass in to Saitama). Combining these types of splits in to a single trip per rider, you end up with about 23 million daily rail trips in Tokyo. |
DC
Metro: 1,027,600 MARC: 36,100 VRE: 18,800 Total: 1,082,500 |

So be careful of mixing the APTA unlinked numbers to statements by the transit agency of so many passengers per day. The average daily ridership of the DC Metro is around 750K passengers per day, but I have not dug up the up to date figures for that. |

True enough, but the great thing about APTA is they provide numbers for everyone, so we don't have to rely on data from individual agencies. |
Yeah, but they source their data from the agencies. It's an information portal; APTA isn't collecting their own ridership data. I don't know if they do any normalization to make the figures more comparable, though.

I say 425,000-450,000 by 2016. Maybe 500,000 by 2020. |

So APTA is both the easiest place to get numbers and the only place where we know they're apples-to-apples across agencies. I can't think of any reason why we'd use anything else for this thread. |
