| January 20 Protests
We rode the first (4:00 am!) train to this meeting of cheerful folks in preparation for our first protest location of the day. BTW, On that day (1/20/17), Metro ridership was reported by WMATA, the Washington Area Transit Authority. As of 11 am, 193,000 trips had been taken on the city's subway system. At the same hour in 2009, that number was 513,000, according to WMATA. The same time for the second Obama inauguration saw 317,000 riders, and President George W. Bush's second inauguration saw 197,000 riders by 11 am. |
