Tri-Rail has released the first ridership numbers for its new train service to MiamiCentral.
A total of 300 passengers per day are now using the service, an increase from the 100 per day that were using it following a January 13 launch.
A change of train is required for passengers travelling to or from MiamiCentral, since the downtown Miami station has stricter emission standards, which blocks Tri-Rail’s normal trains.
Tri-Rail says its passenger count in the month of February hit an average of 15,000 weekday riders systemwide.
It is the first time since February 2020 that Tri-Rail reached that figure. Prior to that, Tri-Rail ridership was regularly at 15,000 daily rides.
