650,857 people riding the D sounds great, until you realize the population of LA is 3.86 million, which means a maximum of 17% of LA residents ride the D at least once a month, and considering some people almost certainly ride the D multiple times a week, you've got to assume there's a large part of LA that doesn't ride the D at all.
When I add up all the numbers, I get 5,757,974 riders. Certainly a huge number of that is transfers between lines and also people coming in from other parts of LA Country/Greater LA, but that is still a significant number that indicates a very high level of usage. Also, the D line is not yet complete and is being expanded as we speak. Its ridership will increase.
....sheesh so much riding of D. Someone needs to fly me out to los angeles 😳
