Your memory sucks then - it also casts shade on any other assertions you've made on the topic.NJT Press Release for weekend only SEC service in 2003. Ridership increase press release for MNRR Relevant section: In sharp contrast, Commutation ridership to/from Manhattan, which historically has been MNR’s core market, has increased by only about 19% since 1990 and now constitutes less than half of total MNR rail ridership (i.e., 48% in 2015 compared to 67% in 1984). So yes, peak ridership is important but it is less than half the total rides for MNRR. Haven't found an NJT article about it but since NJT cannot do a decent weekend schedule (unlike MNRR) it makes sense that the railroad that does would have better non-commutation ridership. |
