That's what Caltrain or the Babylon Branch carry in a single day.

2688 per day on 32 trains.  84 riders per train on a train with 248 seats.  Must be nice having so much room to stretch out.

BrightLine is very comfortable.

They're also selling a lot of multi-ride tickets.

Brightline is less than a year old vs. the decades that commuter rail service has run on the Peninsula. Not to mention one service makes multiple stops, and the other is only half built.

Let’s see how Orlando does, once Brightline charges full fares.
