How did you arrive at tens of thousands of riders?
- testing22321 1y agoI was at the world’s biggest automotive show. It was packed.
- olyjohn 1y agoI didn't realize they could fit tens of thousands of people in the waiting areas. Those stations must really be something to behold.
- dagmx 1y agoSo then saying “ Tens of thousands of riders” is a lie since they weren’t actually using the tunnels to ride in at the time.
- testing22321 1y agoI didn’t say anything like at the same time. In my week in Vegas for SEMA from 8am to well after dark it was always jam packed. That’s tens of thousands of riders. What was it like when you rode it?
- dagmx 1y agoI’m not in LA so I haven’t ridden it but that’s a moot point to the discussion. Having tens of thousands of drivers over an unspecified time period rather than simultaneously isn’t really a flex imho.
- testing22321 1y agoI didn’t intend it to be a flex. I was stating what I saw when I rode it.
- serf 1y ago>Tens of thousands of riders You saw tens of thousands of riders? That anecdote just doesn't jibe with the throughput numbers -- that's why it seems like a flex, it's grossly inflated. Now before we go into pedantry and you talk about how 'riders' meant 'all willing participants who are sitting in line' , fine -- i've been to SEMA and I understand those crowds , but those aren't riders. It's a misreporting of the situation, and frankly it seems intentional.
- testing22321 1y agoI did. I was in and around multiple stations for a week, from early till late, and never saw a single one anything other than packed. Lineups up the turned off escalators topside were extremely common. Many tens of thousands of people were riding. FWIW I was at the event that caused the worlds biggest event centre (the Vegas convention centre) to expand, because it wasn’t big enough to host the event. Millions and millions of people in and around the convention centre, all serviced by the loop.
