Ridership counts in 2022?
I found this report of ridership confusing: "In 2022, the system had a ridership of 216,329,500, or about 757,000 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2023 ...." Do these rider counts pertain to 2Q23 or to full year 2022? Bookerj (talk) 14:50, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Also found the per-day arithmetic confusing. How many weekdays are included in this calculation? A full year (without holidays) has 260 weekdays (+/- 1).  The T has reduced service levels and ridership on holidays, so we might count 250 weekdays of service. But even using 260 days, 216.3 M runs about 832,000 per weekday, about 10% higher than reported. Looks like the calculation used 286 days as the weekday count.  If the numbers came from the T, they might reflect a more complicated approach, figuring in some of the weekends/holidays in their weekday counts. Bookerj (talk) 15:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
