The Tri-Rail system this week reported its total ridership for 2024, saying numbers are nearing pre-pandemic levels.
The South Regional Transportation Authority, which operates the trains, reports a total of 4.4 million riders took the rail last year.
It’s the first time since 2019 ridership has surpassed the 4 million mark in a single year. Last year, the Tri-Rail expanded its services to Downtown Miami with an added weekday express train and a midnight train out of Miami Airport Station.
As of March 2024, the SRTA reported that ridership averaged 15,000 weekday trips, and 8,000 on weekends.
