reel icon This past month has been one for the record books. ⚽🌈🚈 We honored Juneteenth. We marched in Pride. We welcomed visitors from around the world. And we came together for six unforgettable World Cup matches. Through it all, transit kept the region moving. June became the busiest month in Link history, with 5.4 million boardings and four of the five busiest days we’ve ever recorded. On our final match day alone, riders set a new record with 309,000 boardings. Those numbers tell part of the story. The rest is found in the packed trains, the teal-vested employees, the volunteers, the station ambassadors, and the riders who welcomed the world with patience and kindness. Thank you for helping make this a month we’ll never forget. ❤️ Check out our blog for more on a tournament to remember (link in bio).
