Hey, does anyone know how that 930,000 avg. weekday ridership number is calculated (see change to lead)? It seems utterly wrong given that it's significantly higher than the record setting ridership on the highest ridership days as given my Metro (see what used to be cited on that sentence). I'm inclined to change it back to Metro's estimate of 700,000 (which is actually just above the avg. weekday ridership of 699,599 during FY 2006 (see http://www.wmata.com/about/met_news/PressReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=1303)).

: If nobody objects, I'll change it back to the official WMATA numbers at some point in the future. [[User:Mecaterpillar|Mecaterpillar]] 05:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:: I've tried to figure out the methodology used by that source, and the best I could come up with is that they take the total and divide by the number of weekdays, but that gave me a slightly lower number, but close, for example for June 2006, that would give 937k. Of course one sees the obvious problem with that methodology (weekend ridership is not zero), so just change it back now, or I'll do it when I find the lines that need to be reverted. --[[User:JVittes|JVittes]] 06:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
