Despite hurricanes and the closing of its Acela Express Service, Amtrak showed a surprising increase in overall ridership.
Ridership for its fiscal year was more than 25 million for a slight increase over last year.
“This is a responsible achievement given the suspension of Acela Express in April and through most of the summer,” said David Gunn, president and CEO of Amtrak. He added the hurricanes also had an impact.
Amtrak stopped its fleet of 20 Acela Express trains running in the Northeast in April after cracks were found in the brake discs. By the summer, the trains were back in service.
