That is probably the bulk of the ridership out of Denton CO at this point, but I have not seen a station by station breakdown. It is a new service and is likely to grow because, as has been pointed out, it operates frequently throughout the day and actually connects to a widespread rail system in the Dallas area. THe ridership out of Denton will probably grow too. I am curious as to what numbers are being generated out of the Denton terminus?

DCTA does give out station by station breakdown on ridership. I didn't want to bore everyone in the Austin threads with it. Just check out their Board packet items - I know the January 2013 Board packet includes December 2012 ridership stats.

December 2012
Downtown Denton 8,103
Medpark 3,212
Highland Village/Lewisville Lake 2,302
Old Town Lewisville 2,252
Hebron 2,473
Trinity Mills (Carrollton/DART) 12,132
Some math:
8,103 / 30,474 = 26.5% board at Downtown Denton
12,132 / 30,374 = 39.8% board at Trinity Mills
There's both terminus for you.
