Caltrain's recent shift to electric train service, initiated in September 2024, has led to a notable surge in ridership. Reports indicate a 41% year-on-year increase in passenger numbers, with Sundays seeing a remarkable doubling. Ridership figures show over 588,000 passengers in December, up from 416,000 last year. The service upgrade has not only attracted more riders during weekdays and weekends but has also resulted in lower electricity consumption due to efficient train technology. Continued increases in ridership suggest a shift in public travel habits toward train use, influenced by faster, cleaner service.
"The first three months of electric service saw a 41 percent increase in ridership over the same three months in 2023, with Sunday ridership doubling."
"Caltrain had more than 588,000 passengers last month, a substantial increase from 416,000 in December of last year."
