This article had some ridership information for the Beaches Trolley in it.
QuoteMiller said the service has averaged 1,343 riders a weekend thus far this year. However, those ridership numbers are down from its first year when the service ran for 10 weeks and had more than 32,000 rides â€" far exceeding JTA’s 14,000 rider expectation.
While still popular, Miller said the decline in riders this year could be attributed to a number of things including the introduction of a fee (50 cents per ride, up from no cost in the first year), the extended route or simply the novelty factor declining.
The future â€" either a full-time service or summer service â€" isn’t yet known.
