A total of 52,998 people rode the Milwaukee streetcar, The Hop, in November 2019. That’s an average of 1,767 per day. The lightest day of traffic was, unsurprisingly, Thanksgiving, when only 645 people rode the thing. The busiest day of traffic was the very next day, Black Friday, when 2,859 folks hopped aboard.
Got it? Good. Done.
Okay, we lied. Here are the numbers for The Hop’s first year. Then that’s it, we promise. You’ll notice ridership dips in the winter. Incredible. Enjoy the comments.
