Taylor Swift is leaving an impact on not just the music industry, but public transit, as well.
As Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” moves across the country, the pop singer is leaving her mark not only on the music industry but on public transit, too — with concertgoers dressed in sparkles, tassels and cowboy hats packing into trains and buses to get to the record-breaking shows.
Tim Menard, CEO of Bay Area-based traffic technology solutions company LYT, saw Swift’s impact on transit firsthand last month when he visited Chicago while the Eras Tour was in the Windy City. He said traffic throughout the city was jammed and many fans were hopping on transit instead to get to Soldier Field.
For the week of June 4-10, the Chicago Transit Authority credited the pop phenom with helping them reach 5.63 million rides — the highest number since the start of the pandemic. They estimated the three-night concert produced more than 43,000 additional bus and rail rides. For the “Eras Tour,” VTA will provide up to 85 train cars starting around 4:30 p.m. They expect the largest crowds will come from people transferring from BART in Milpitas and Caltrain in Mountain View.BART also will run extra trains on both concert days and have extra security and staff at stations to help people get around.
