What about Metro riders? Can those numbers be obtained?

Metro releases daily ridership numbers. But today’s will not be accurate as they opened the faregates at some stations to relieve crowding.

I don't know. I was one of them, though, and it was packed. The line to buy tickets at the Vienna metro station at 9:30 was over a mile long. Eventually, they just let everyone ride for free because they couldn't keep up. The metro was over capacity for hours after that. I did the same routine at the 09/12 rally last year and as crowded as the metro was then, it was far worse today. FWIW.
