Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:42:57 GMT

ST. LOUIS - New data reveals that the St. Louis Loop Trolley is one of the most underused streetcar systems among major U.S. cities. Transit policy analyst Brad Thomas recently crunched data on transportation services from the Federal Transit Administration, further analyzed by the Cato Institute. A list that Thomas created on Twitter from FTA data ranked St. Louis last among cities in September 2023 in a metric classified as "riders per vehicle hour."This metric is calculated by two pieces of FTA data: The number of unlinked passenger trips (UPT) divided by the number of vehicle revenue hours (VRH) over any given period of time. Three men charged in St. Charles County trafficking case plead not guilty Last September, St. Louis had a sparse "riders per vehicle hour" ranking of 2.1. For perspective, the next closest rate among qualified U.S. cities with rail services was Galveston, Texas with a rank of 9.2 riders per vehicle hour in the year's ninth month. For the year, the St. Lo...
