In June 2026 the Seattle region had >by far< the highest US light rail ridership—5.5m riders—vs 4.5m in LA, the 2nd highest. Seattle light rail ridership has exploded since January! Overall, the region's transit ridership is ~back to pre-covid levels. www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-...

It's absurd the overall ridership still hasn't recovered to pre-pandemic levels when it has reached new records in recent years in places like Nürnberg

What is the ridership per capita?

Would be interested to see this data with bus ridership as well, considering how big that was modeshare-wise pre-COVID.

I think they opened their second line in the last few months, the one that heads out to the MSFT campus; plus they hosted world cup games at a stadium right next to their LRT. I’ve always found Seattle’s train(s) to be incredibly useful, they did the smart thing and mostly buried the tracks.
