Trinity Metro TEXRail, which logged record ridership in 2023, marked its fifth anniversary yesterday.
The commuter-rail line, which opened in 2019, provides service between Fort Worth and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in Texas.
TEXRail has served nearly 2.5 million riders since service began. Last year, the commuter railroad logged its highest single day of ridership at 6,625 on Nov. 20.
Two of the highest monthly ridership counts occurred in late 2023: 83,071 rides in November (a 67% year-over-year increase) and 82,492 in December (a 34% increase). Every month in fiscal-year 2023 — which ran from October 2002 to September 2023 — had higher ridership than the same months in the previous fiscal year, TEXRail officials said in a news release.
"Our ridership growth shows how much TEXRail means to the community and to visitors," said Reed Lanham, TEXRail's vice president of rail.
