[quote user="Jim200"] When I checked Saturday at 6 PM, the Heartland Flyer was sold out going south from Oklahoma  City to Fort Worth on Sunday. It was also sold out on Monday. It was also sold out going north the next Saturday. [/quote] Based on my observations in Fort Worth, the Heartland Flyer draws a seemingly substantial crowd on Saturdays and Sundays. I have talked to several people who ride the train to Fort Worth for the weekend, i.e. come down on Saturday and return on Sunday. Checking the load factor for one or two days does not really indicate how well the train is patronized.  Between FY10 and FY13 the average load factor for the Heartland Flyer was 44 per cent.  And it has been declining since 2012. One possible solution to control the cost of the Flyer, which is of concern to Oklahoma and Texas taxpayers, would be to reduce the frequency of the train to a Friday through Monday operation.
