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.
