Fans who chose METRORail to get to the Astros World Series Parade set a new record for single day ridership. The agency tallied 395,000 boardings on Friday, Nov. 3. METRORail's Red, Green and Purple Lines had a combined 125,000 boardings. That exceeds the previous record set in February the day before Super Bowl LI by 16,000. Meanwhile boardings on local bus and Park & Ride combined were 270,000.
