Monthly Ridership Reports
Monthly Ridership files contain actual ridership counts in a format we call "entry-exit" matrices. Each page shows the average ridership for the month by type of day (weekday, Saturday, or Sunday) in matrix format.
Here's how to read the data: the Monthly Ridership Report excel file consists of four tabs showing Total, Average Weekday, Average Saturday and Average Sunday ridership. Stations of origin are listed across the columns while destination stations are listed down the rows.
The files are automatically updated and are usually available by the 5th of the next month. You may need to reference this list of station name abbreviations (.xls).
