. CORRECTION: The 317k figure above was from 1/21/13 (Inauguration Day).

I didn't even know Metro had a burn unit

Trump is a toxin that people are quickly learning to avoid. This is a healthy response.

Republicans have jobs to attend to. All the Obama folks were unemployed so had time to attend his inauguration.

@anamariecox what is the ridership for a "normal" Friday?

I used to cover #WMATA and am not sure what it is these days but seems low for a Friday.

Typical weekday used to be more than 700K in 2013. Divide that in half for morning? More like 350K

true, though I imagine ridership has declined/is lower on Friday's?

Yep, you are right. Average weekday #WMATA rail ridership in 2016 was 639,101: https://www.wmata.com/initiatives/plans/upload/2016_historical_rail_ridership.pdf …

.@kytja @wmata @anamariecox so rides to the inauguration: definitively lower than average Friday DC commuting morning.

well, it's a federal holiday in DC.

Right, but also far lower that recent #inauguration mornings. See earlier tweets.

The working class don't get days off at will and the government class hates him. That is the main reason for the smaller crowd.

Trump got only 4% of the vote in DC - barely beating Jill Stein (yes, really!)...
