Ridership Numbers

[ricco67]

Just got my info from Metro a bit ago and thought I'd share.

I'm copying this verbatim, so the list will look a bit funny as I assume that the stations that exist were different from pre-construction.

One thing that sticks out is how much LESS of a demand over at smith lands as opposed to how it is now, but considering these are projections for ridership in 2020, I can see how Metro might have been taken by surprise by the usage.
