The good news? BART just had one of its best ridership days since COVID. The bad news? It was still much smaller than the same day in 2019.
Buoyed by San Francisco Pride, BART carried 140,006 riders on Sunday – its busiest Sunday since the start of the pandemic.
But Sunday’s total was still significantly short of what the rail line used to attract for the festival. In 2019, the last Pride celebration before the pandemic brought public gatherings to a screeching halt, drew 235,000 riders onboard its trains – 40% more than they drew on Sunday, according to data shared with The Examiner by the transit agency.
SF City Hall 'transforms' as 250 couples marry to honor Pride With preparations under way in front of City Hall ahead of the weekend, hundreds of celebrations took place inside “It’s our hope that those riders will return more often after having a positive experience with BART getting to and from Pride,” he said.
