2014 New Haven Line Ridership Record

Metro-North's New Haven Line Breaks Ridership Record

W HAVEN — With a 1.6 percent gain over 2013, Metro-North's New Haven line carried more riders in 2014 than in any year of its history, the railroad reported Monday.

Fairfield County riders going to Manhattan jobs are still the largest single piece of the customer base, but the growth is coming from Connecticut and Westchester County, N.Y., workers commuting to jobs in Stamford, Norwalk and Greenwich, along with off-peak riders to New York City.

The New Haven line had 39.6 million riders last year, more than its previous record in 2008.
