Link Ridership: March 2024
Sound Transit ridership data for March 2024 was released earlier this week, with Link ridership jumping 25% from February to a total of 2.61 million boardings, making March 2024 the second-highest ridership month in Link history (behind July 2023 with 2.71 million boardings). While weekday ridership was a meager 3% greater than the same month in 2019 (and nearly 8% less than in March 2023), the most interesting development was a massive spike in weekend ridership - in particular Sunday rides.
Saturday boardings in March averaged 81,147, a 55% increase over February, a 14% increase over March 2023, and a 45% increase over March 2019.
Sunday boardings in March averaged 112,096, a 191% increase over February, a 126% increase over March 2023, and a 186% increase over March 2019.
