Caltrain has enjoyed a 56 percent increase in ridership this year, earning it the title of the fastest-growing transit agency, according to the American Public Transportation Association. This, of course, corresponds with the rollout of more frequent schedules and its newly electrified service. From a Caltrain release: The increased ridership and satisfaction levels follow the launch of its new high-performance electric trains in September 2024 that offer a better experience for Caltrain riders and provide faster and more frequent service.

The data reflects how trust in autonomous vehicles has grown, with Waymo achieving a staggering 5,500% increase in ridership within just two years.
