President Trump’s campaign event at the Amway Center on
Tuesday (6/18) was HUGE for SunRail. SunRail more than doubled its daily
ridership for a Tuesday.
Before you jump all over us for being partisan, keep in
mind that both people supporting Trump, as well as those opposed to him, used
the train to avoid traffic jams and expensive parking in downtown Orlando.
To accommodate the crowds, SunRail added extra trains to
carry people back to their home stations after the event.
Overall SunRail provided 14,026 rides on Tuesday (a couple
of trains with 3 passenger-coaches carried more than 900 people).
The average ridership for a Tuesday in May 2019 was 6,078.
These totals are amazing when you consider that last year –
before SunRail launched its Southern Expansion down to Poinciana – the train
was providing about 3,300 rides daily.
See you on The Rail!
