The article doesn’t specify as to why, and I’m curious.
An absurd amount of New Yorkers, myself included, moved out of the city in the last four years. As a result, Metro North has seen a substantial increase in traffic in and out of the city.
Did this happen in other cities too, or is the increase in Amtrak traffic more organic?
Numbers are almost identical to 2019 Amtrak ridership, so kind of a stretch to call it a new record.
This did happen elsewhere but most such places do not have much rail service so I’m not sure it’s behind the trend.
