MetroLink Station Usage

Station%20usage.pdf

Here is some data from Metro about station usage on MetroLink. The most used station is the Central West End station which no doubt because of its high employment center as well as strong neighborhood walk up usage and the new bus transfer center.

Also what the data show is that MetroLink is carrying some 25,000 people across the Mississippi River each day. Planners have noted a drop in bridge usage the last two years, maybe it is because of MetroLink and perhaps some people are making fewer trips.

Your "station usage" document differs substantially from what seems to be identical counts published on the Metro website. For example, you have 5,306 on at North Hanley eastbound, 403 on at North Hanley westbound, for a total of 5,709 daily boardings. On Metro's website (link below), they show North Hanley Metrolink with a total of 3,939 daily boardings. Can you please explain the discrepancy?

The Metro data is for April of 2007 and mine is for September 2007. That is the reason for the different numbers.
