minus-squareDrunkEngineer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoNumbers are almost identical to 2019 Amtrak ridership, so kind of a stretch to call it a new record.
minus-squareSwingingTheLamp@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 day agoIf it were just stochastic variation, I’d agree, but ridership was growing for years up to 2019. It (mysteriously!) cratered in 2020 and 2021, so I think that the fact that it’s already topping the 2019 number is notable.
