List of North American rapid transit systems by ridership

October 24, 2023

See also: List of North American light rail systems by ridership

This is a list of North American rapid transit systems by ridership. These heavy rail or rapid transit systems are also known as metro or subway systems. This list of systems in North America does not include light rail, even when they are integrated with heavy rail. Daily and annual ridership figures are based on "average weekday unlinked passenger trips" (where transfers between lines are counted as two separate passenger "boardings" or "trips"), unless otherwise indicated (e.g., Mexico City and Monterrey, whose figures are the average for all days, not just weekdays). For metro systems in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and Canada, the annual ridership figures for 2019 and average weekday ridership figures for the Fourth Quarter (Q4) of 2019 come from the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) ridership reports statistics,[1] unless otherwise noted. Ridership figures for Mexico come from Banco de Información Económica's INEGI reports for the year 2014.[2] Ridership figures for the Dominican Republic come from the Directorate of Operations Santo Domingo Metro report for the year 2013.[3]

Notes Edit

  1. ^ The current system incorporates elevated sections built in 1870.
  2. ^ a b This Annual Ridership figure for 2014 is obtained by averaging the Average Daily Ridership for the twelve months in 2014, and then multiplying that figure by the number of days in a year.
  3. ^ a b c This is the Average Daily Ridership figure, not an Average Weekday Ridership figure – it is averaged from the Q4 2014 Total Ridership figure for this system.
  4. ^ Totals represent the sum of the "Heavy Rail (HR)" and "Intermediate Rail (IR)" figures for Toronto from the APTA ridership report – in other words, figures include stations and ridership on Line 3 Scarborough (RT), which APTA considers to be an IR line and which the Toronto Transit Commission includes in the rapid transit system for mapping and administrative purposes.
  5. ^ a b c d e This rapid transit system is integrated with a light rail system; only the parts of the system that are rapid transit/metro, and that are not light rail, are counted in the statistics presented here.
