Expanded Rail Service and Artificially Higher Boarding Figures in 1995: Urban rail
systems were opened or significantly expanded in a number of metroplitan areas between 1983
and 1995. Because such systems force many passengers to split their journeys between buses
and rail (transfer), the 1995 boardings figure for states containing these systems is artificially
inflated. This effect is likely to exceed five percent in DC, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri
and Oregon
DC, MD & VA: The National Transit Database reports all ridership and cost data for the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in DC, despite substantial ridership in MD and
VA. As a result, DC data is significantly over-reported and data in MD and VA is significantly
under-reported.
