December end of year numbers: The last quarter of 2011 compared to 2010: 40,799 average versus 38,117. So while we do see the normal year end tail off, ridership is better than the previous year. I also note that while the 3 previous years December lows were right around 35,000, this year we are sitting at 38,917. RT

March 2012 update: A very good quarter for the Green Line. Quarterly average in 2012 is 43,446 versus 2011's average of 39,993. The Green Line is rapidly approaching the levels seen back from the summer of 2008 gas spike. The high ridership of 46,212 looks to be history very soon. RT

June 2012 numbers: Well, the Green Line finally broke through it's old July 2008 high of 46,212 by a grand total of 6 riders, and now has a new ridership high of 46,278. The quarterly results are equally impressive. Last years average was 41,126 and this year we are up to 44,872. The Green Line now has 12 consecutive months of YOY monthly ridership increases. Beaten only in that regard by the Gold Line. RT

September 2012 numbers: The Green Line had a spectacular quarter. Average ridership was 46,381 versus the 2011 average of 44,488, up a bit over 4%. Note that the quarterly average of 46,381 is higher than the previous single month high of 46,278 from June 2012 And July saw a new ridership high of 47,214. There have also been 5 consecutive months (6 if you include October) with ridership over 45,000. A very good quarter indeed, and nice to see it happening on what has been one of the more stable (ridership wise) lines in the system. Not sure what this can be attributed to. Perhaps the growth in Silver Line ridership is spilling over into the Green Line, or they are feeding each other. RT

I would guess recent ridership gains are a combination of the network effect and an improving economy. If things continue to improve, we can really expect to see some return on investment in the Metro network.

March 2013 numbers: The December 2012 quarter that I missed averaged 46,300 versus the year earlier 40,799. And the first quarter of 2013 now has 44,530 versus the year earlier 43,446. All very respectable gains. April regressed a bit, but we will get back to that later RT

Despite my username I’m more of a green line rider than blue these days. And I think that ridership on the green line is having a big uptick. It’s not just recovering from the Crenshaw tie-in, as I think that’s already happened. But the new rush hour frequency (6 min as opposed to 7.5 and starts earlier) has really paid off.
Previously the morning trains were overrun with homeless and would get packed with paying riders, especially early morning. To where you sometimes couldn’t get on. With increased frequencies trains are still standing room, but you can get on. Parts of the schedule that used to be every 10-12 minutes are now every 6. It’s just a much better service. And the homeless are noticeably less. It will interesting to see th May ridership figures, although that’s more of a rolling average. It may take until July to really see the uptick.

Thanks for the report. Not enough info on this line especially from regular riders. I've only ridden a few times years ago, but always thought the Green Line had great potential. The Crenshaw Line should add a little ridership and so should the LAX APM. Would love to see the Eastern Extension to Norwalk Metrolink but the WASB should give it a nice boost too. I've noticed a lot more homeless in the last year or two on both Expo and the Red/Purple Lines. Haven't ridden too much since the emphasis on policing and homeless outreach on the subway. Not sure if there has been any progress.
