Another big ridership month for September and the second highest total of 2012 right behind the current high month of April at 1,266,714 boardings. As the weather cools, seasonal events begin in larger numbers and sports fans continue to take the trains to the stadiums. ASU football had a couple of home games this month but in October they play Oregon and UCLA at home which should draw BIG crowds. Stay tuned.
