How many people will ride HSR?
Estimates vary. Current estimates by the the CHSRA of HSR ridership are between 41 – 58 million passengers annually by 2035. These estimates were developed by Cambridge Systematics and are subject to change based on a number of factors. However, an independent ridership analysis was completed by the University of California Institute of Transportation Studies (UCITS). This study called into question many of the ridership numbers produced by Cambridge Systematics. Click here for a link to the UCITS study.
