8,487 daily one-way riders on Brightline in June (4,243 round-trip).
That averages out to about 265 per one-way train (16 daily roundtrips, so 8,487 / 32 one-way trains).
Folks, that’s really high per train ridership by N American standards for a 5-car train. Is that enough revenue vs expenses?🤷🏻♂️

Bus Rapid Transit skeptics, do this once and you’ll be sold. Two minute wait for bus, 20 minute ride to a different CITY AND COUNTY, get out in front of ice cream place, eat ice cream, wait two minutes for westbound bus, 20 minutes back. And didn’t cost anything, really.
Took the B BRT to Nellie’s after dinner. They had my favorite ice cream of ALL TIME, blueberry waffle cone, which I paired with raspberry choc chip. @bubbaprog.lol did pistachio & espresso brownie white choc macadamia ice cream sandwich. Perfect end to Day 1 of Twin Cities ice cream tour.

I was skeptical of the drone reports at first.
I mocked people who reported them.
I laughed at them.
And then I saw one for myself and captured photographic evidence.
They’re real.
