      I've previously compared Boston's commuter rail ridership to that on part of the Kotohira Railway in Takamatsu:https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/836998008227119104 …

      South Station is the busiest stop--consider it Boston's Kawaramachi--on the commuter rail, with 21,772 daily boards pic.twitter.com/ACeeWwyT2L

      The ridership data for Western MA is an average of a five-day sample from early March of this year (ie while college students are around)

      Also--the vast majority of bus stops report data for each direction separately: 1 train station = 1 bus stop pair, functionally speaking

      So, if the bus network were a tram network instead (with the same ridership), you'd have abt half as many stops, each w twice the riders

      With those disclaimers in mind--the busiest bus stop is the Springfield bus terminal, with just shy of 10,000 daily trips (9,920)

          Another 12 bus stops are above 1,000 (the range is 1027 to 3238), all major hubs. 21 commuter rail stops in same range (1008 to 2325)

          133 bus stops fall between 100 and 999 daily riders, only 7 of them are above 500. 97 stations in this range, 47 are above 500.

          Stops with less ridership than this aren't really viable as train stations--only 14 stations with 10-99 riders, only 1 station below 10.

          But bus stops? A whopping 719 of them fall in the 10-99 range. Only 119 of those stops are above 50.

          How about 1-9? A staggering 744 bus stops end up here. Stops in this range *average* at least one rider a day, but may have empty days too.
