re: #188 SixDegrees

If you look at my post yesterday, I cited a number of Saturday ridership reports from Metrorail, including two from a year ago. A jump in ridership of about 130k seems to be reflected, which is 65k people (since one person would almost certainly make two trips — one to the rally, one back). Of course, Metrorail is but one way for people to have gotten to the rally, so the number must necessarily be higher than 65k.
