California’s Capitol Corridor posted a fiscal-year-best ridership of 141,479 trips for the month of July. Ridership rose 5 percent and revenue jumped 14.7 percent vs. July 2009 levels.

Ridership received a boost, in part, from Friday furloughs for state employees that were suspended in July, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority officials said in a prepared statement. However, the furloughs have been reinstated in August.

Pacific Surfliners ridership rose 2.7 percent to 263,417 trips and revenue increased 14.8 percent while San Joaquin Line ridership climbed 11.2 percent to 98,377 trips and revenue jumped 20.5 percent.
