Metro broke all ridership records by early Tuesday evening after hundreds of thousands of people who turned out for inaugural events jammed trains, packed station platforms and crowded onto stopped escalators.
As of 7 p.m. Metro had run at least 973,285 trips on its rail system. It was the system’s second record-setting day in a row as Metrorail smashed a high set in July by running 866,681 trips on Monday.
