Looking at the article more closely:

City staff attributed some of the growth to the new Valley Line Southeast LRT, which saw 85,000 additional monthly riders in its first six months. The new line represents about 13 per cent of total LRT ridership, the city said.
“We are seeing over 100,000 trips a day on the Valley Line and that’s been growing month over month,” Rutherford said.

If they are seeing 85k new riders per month, I doubt the Valley Line itself has 100k riders. May be a miss-quote, or Rutherford mistakenly saying the Valley Line when she meant system wide.
