The numbers are out! WMATA says that Metro recorded 510,000 trips on Saturday — a definite uptick from the previous three Saturdays, in which the transit system averaged 348,593 riders, but hardly the apocalyptic figure that some were predicting. (For comparison, on President Barack Obama’s Inauguration Day, the busiest day in the system’s history, Metrorail logged 1,120,000 trips.) But what about all those people who gained access to the system when managers at the Smithsonian and Foggy Bottom-GWU stations opened the faregates to relieve overcrowding? Metro spokesperson Ron Holzer said that those riders “were taken into consideration” in the figure that Metro reported.
