Notes: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Bellingham service started on 9/2/99, As a result, monthly ridership for individual trains and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparisons to previous levels must be interpreted with the following in mind: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Train 763 was train 761 prior to 9/2/99 and compares with old 761 ridership numbers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Train 761 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Train 762 1999 totals includes old and new schedule ridership numbers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
***By Amtrak's own admission, a pouch containing 700 tickets was not counted. As a result, I have included |
|
|
|
|
|
|
the 700 missing tickets in this count. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
***Due to the lack of availability of Amtrak equipment, the number of cars used for the holiday weekend was |
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduced from 10 (used in 1998) to 7; thus reducing capacity. |
