Most stops fell in the 1,000 to 2,000 daily passenger range. A few were smaller, a few larger.
Anchor stations in Toyota City (Mikawa Toyota and Shin Toyota) pulled about 10x what normal stations did, landing in the 10,000+ range.
Transfer stations (Setoshi and Yakusa) cleared 5,000 each--better than normal stations, lower than anchor stations.
23 stops with 79,584 total daily passengers over a distance of 28 miles... appx 3460 passengers per stop appx 2842 passengers per mile
This is a very successful line, so you could probably still turn a profit if those figures were lower...let's say 2500/mile as a target
A target, that is, for mostly above-grade suburban rail (or, as we call it here in the USA, "commuter rail")
The only bit of information I wish I had but don't is the frequency of service...but I'll assume no worse than 30 minute headways.
