From Sep. CEO Report:
Average ridership in August was over 15,200 â the highest August ever. August is traditionally
the second lowest ridership month, after December, which makes this accomplishment all the
more impressive. August ridership in 2008 was 10% higher than in August 2007. We had 4
days above 16,000 riders and 12 days above 15,000 riders. On Tuesday, August 12, VRE
ridership peaked with the 2nd highest ridership day ever with 16,801 riders, only 6 riders less
than the previous record (which was since broken on September 9, 2008 when we hit 16,933
trips). Early indications show that September will be a record breaking month with two days,
so far, close to 17,000 riders.
I can tell you that ridership was high on Sep. 11. Train #304 was very crowded, with very many people standing that day. Every morning I get on in Woodbridge, their are no seats and so several people are standing. We have a several students riding the train to Alexandia.
