Amtrak passengers grew 45% from 2003 to 2019 to 32.3million.

Amtrak set to break passenger records

WASHINGTON - Amtrak said on Wednesday it expects ridership to top
pre-COVID-19 levels this year for the first time and reach a record high
even though it has less capacity.

Ridership on the passenger railroad was 20% higher in the first seven
months of Amtrak's budget year that began Oct.1, and ticket revenue was
up 10%, versus the same period in 2023, according to written testimony
by Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner presented at a hearing of a U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee on Wednesday.

"We are on target to set a new all-time ridership record by exceeding
the 32.3million passengers" in 2019, Gardner said in the written
testimony.
