Simbha Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 From looking at the numbers you posted, the average per day looks more like 4,262.I think he means that the average across all 2011 days was 827 passengers. So, the OTC numbers were approximately 5x that of a normal day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolie Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Typical weekday ridership is 35-45k, with some peak days in the 50s and 60s for events. The stats indicate OTC was adding 4-5k per day above baseline, or this might be boardings at a particular station... You can tell when a major conference is occurring in town due to all the badges and suits you'll see on the train.

plumber2 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I saw people walking down Fannin St. from the Med Center with OTC credentials during the week of OTC. There were groups of five or six people walking south over Braes Bayou bridge. I was thinking to myself "that's a long walk to Reliant Center". Maybe they were just going to Luby's or someplace else, but still that's a long hike from the Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hilton or wherever they were staying. Obviously we need more hotels close to The Reliant Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
