<p>Assuming the Silver Meteor operates with three sleeping cars all year, and it requires four sets of equipment to cover the service, it can offer 122,640 seats or 61,320 rooms during the year. This assumes that each car has an attendant, and he or she uses one of the roomettes to camp out in. It further assumes that Amtrak's recommended occupancy guidelines are followed.</p> <p>In FY13 the Meteor lifted the tickets for 41,889 sleeping car passengers, which was down 2.5 per cent from FY12. The load factor ranged from 34.2 per cent of the seats to 68 per cent of the rooms, assuming there was only one person per room. Many of the rooms probably were occupied by more than one passenger, so the load factor for the sleepers would have been somewhere between the extremes. </p>
