Amtrak Rail Sets Record With More Than 34 Million Riders in 2025

Amtrak’s ridership broke records this year after the national railroad introduced new routes across the US and upgraded several cars to expand capacity.

More than 34.5 million people rode Amtrak trains so far in 2025, Roger Harris, the rail operator’s president said Friday in an interview on Bloomberg TV’s Open Interest program. He said the system collected a record $2.7 billion in ticket revenue.
