What ‘Doom Loop’? LA’s Metro Ridership Keeps Growing

After taking a significant dip at the outset of COVID, Metro transit ridership has been steadily recovering. New figures released today show that Metro averaged 963,068 daily weekday boardings in August 2024.

Metro cut service in 2020, then fully restored bus service in late 2022. In 2023, Metro restored heavy rail service and restored and expanded light rail service. Metro transit ridership steadily grew throughout 2023 and through mid-2024. Both bus and rail ridership are up, though bus boardings are recovering more quickly and more fully than rail.

Metro August and July ridership were the twenty-first and twenty-second months of year-over-year ridership increases.

Ridership varies seasonally, typically with slight dips in summer and winter months.

October 2024 had the highest weekend ridership of the pandemic era, and the fourth highest post-2020 weekday ridership. Marked-up screengrab via Metro ridership statistics portal

Metro hit a pandemic-era ridership record in May with 981K daily boardings. August 2024’s 963K was the fourth highest weekday ridership month since 2020, with record Saturday and Sunday ridership.

September and October appear likely to break the million daily boardings mark.
