April 17 Sound Transit Ridership – One year of U-Link
by Matthew Johnson from Seattle Transit Blog on (#2TK0C)
All ST service was higher or flat (ST Express decreased by 13 riders/day) in April of 2017 than a year earlier. With University Link opening in March of 16 this is the first full month with U-Link numbers. However Angle Lake didn't open until September of 16 so it is not fully apples to apples.
Average daily ridership for Link in April was:
- Weekday: 71,328 (+17.3%)
- Saturday: 50,154 (-4.0%)
- Sunday: 33,215 (+2.4%)
Other weekday modal ridership stats:
- Sounder: 17,172 (3.8%)
- Tacoma Link: 3,279 (3.5%)
- ST Express: 64,080 (2.6%)
- Sound Transit Systemwide, +20.8% Weekday, +19.7% Total Boardings
