The Bay Area’s newest transit system will reach an important milestone this week.
SMART ridership statistics show that the transit agency will reach the 2 million-rider mark by Wednesday, June 23, officials said. SMART train riders who are on board on that special day could be among the many riders who will receive passes for free train trips, SMART officials said.
“We are grateful to have such strong community support,” said David Rabbitt, Chair of SMART’s Board of Directors. “With each day that passes, we get closer and closer to reaching the 2 million-rider mark. Our conductors are ready, and on the day we achieve that milestone, they will be handing out free passes to passengers for free train trips. This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our riders and it is also a way for them to share their SMART train experience with a friend or family member.”
“This is another accomplishment by SMART train” said Barbara Pahre, Vice Chairwoman of SMART’s Board of Directors. “This year will be a terrific year, with the opening of California and triumphant over the pandemic”.
