Just read on the other thread that there are about 20k waiting in line at one of the metro stations. Looks like a few will miss the start of the rally.

Yep. A local news report of outlying Metro stations being jammed:

9:10 a.m. Delays on Metro, at Metro

Metro is reporting delays on almost every line, and long lines at stations, especially at the end of lines, due to fare card issues. According to Metro, usually tour groups buy fare cards in advance; that doesn't seem to be the case today. Many of the customers are standing in long lines and are not familiar with the fare card machines.

Reports from the Franconia station on the Blue Line have lines around the station.
