FY 2025 Ridership Expansion and Fiscal Recovery

I assume that they are counting the number of warm bodies that rode on a particular road, regardless of how far they went. Are passenger miles traveled reported too?

This is correct. I’m working with unlinked passenger counts, butts in chairs. Passenger miles are sometimes reported, sometimes not. Lately they have been.

Month	Train 1333	Train 1340	Hiawatha Corridor only
May 2024	3,622	3,028	2,562
June 2024	10,323	9,122	6,663
July 2024	11,031	10,236	5,202
Aug 2024	11,746	10,563	5,527
Sep 2024	9,859	8,929	5,658
Oct 2024	10,981	10,055	5,419
Nov 2024	10,624	8,908	5,523
Dec 2024	10,878	9,692	5,261

No offense taken, I was guessing that that was a hair less than 7,000/month. I’m glad we have some data. Thank you.

Septra9737 - please provide a link to the data source. Thank you for the commentary.

Amtrak’s wonderful IT likes to post/take down/repost these, so I don’t link them, but the data always comes from math produced from the Monthly Performance Reports available on the Reports and Documents page of Amtrak.com

>Big picture wise the railroad lost $66,700,000 over the last three months

Interesting to think what a functioning Acela 2 does for those numbers.
