- NoboruWataya 1y ago183M passengers would be approximately three times the population of the UK. I assume the correct statistic is that 183M journeys were made in a year, or 3.5M per week. But the number of unique passengers will be a lot lower.
- arp242 1y agoYou added the phrase "unique passenger" yourself. The article doesn't talk about that at all. It does use the phrase "passenger journeys" and "passenger numbers". While this sentence could perhaps be slightly better phrase, in context it's pretty obvious that it's talking about the number of journeys. All of this is a classic extremely pedantic and obnoxious cherry-picking.
- NoboruWataya 1y agoI was explaining the parent comment, not defending it. The sentence which was reproduced in that comment does not talk about "passenger journeys".
