Amtrak Ridership (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)
Amtrak officially began service in May 1971. Amtrak offers services in
46 states throughout a 22,000 mile route system. Ridership data are highly
seasonal, with July and August being very high seasonal months. In 2000,
Amtrak introduced a high-speed rail service in the northeast U.S., which
helped increase ridership.
