Amtrak Ridership Hits Record Highs Amid Calls for Rail Expansion
In Fiscal Year 2025, Amtrak achieved record-breaking ridership and revenue, marking the second consecutive year of substantial growth. The company saw 34.5 million customer trips and $2.7 billion in adjusted ticket revenue, demonstrating strong demand for quality service and a focus on customer experience. Investments in infrastructure and fleet modernization, including the launch of new services like the Amtrak Mardi Gras and NextGen Acela, further contributed to the year’s success. These achievements set the stage for continued expansion, with a focus on achieving operational profitability by Fiscal Year 2028.
