Performance (April 2019):
The Cost per Rail Passenger Trip of $3.68
in April exceeded the forecast by $0.63, or 21%. This unfavorable variance was due
to rail ridership falling short of the forecast by 0.4 million unlinked
passenger boardings and operating expenses coming over budget. The 2019 Fiscal
Year-to-Date (months of July through April) Cost per Rail Passenger Trip
of $3.17 is exceeding the forecast by $0.02, or 1%. This unfavorable variance
is due to rail ridership falling short of the forecast by 1.0 million unlinked
passenger boardings.
