The Metro reported record ridership for the month of April 2010 of over 1.2 million passengers. This surpasses all other reported numbers since the train started operating 17 months ago. The previous month of March 2010 reported a then-record of 1.16 million riders.

The Diamondbacks home opener on Monday April 5 now stands as Metro’s daily record-holder, with 55,679 officially measured boardings.

Metro also had its first back-to-back 50,000-passenger days, when D’Backs games coincided with an Eagles concert and a Phoenix Suns playoff game.
