Caltrain had over 753,000 passengers last month, marking a 54 percent increase from October 2022. Average weekday ridership stood at nearly 27,000, a 38 percent increase.
The "Sparks Effect" is the industry term for what's happening at Caltrain. When overhead wire is strung, trains can go faster, cleaner, and quieter.
Weekend ridership has overtaken pre-COVID levels, with Saturdays seeing a 169 percent increase and Sundays a 142 percent increase from last October.
This year, total ridership increased by 17 percent compared to the last month of primarily diesel service, indicating a boom in rail use.
