From Fortune Magazine: CNN has reported that WMATA's full-day ride total for the inauguration was 570,557, compared to 782,000 rides during the second Obama ceremony. The total for the Women’s March, announced this morning, was 1,001,616.

From Politico: Women’s march draws almost twice Metro ridership of Trump’s inauguration

Lots of news comes up when queries are run through the Google Machine. One fun fact: Ridership for the March was nearly double that for the Trump thing the day before and second highest ever, eclipsed only by Obama's 2009 inauguration.

Suck it, Donnie.
