You're mixing numbers of people with annual ridership, which is apples and oranges. On a daily basis the number of boardings is in the 300,000+ range, and 100K students is not an insignificant number compared to that. But I'm sure a lot fewer than 100K of those students are part of the daily boarding stat.
There's going to be an effect, we're just going to have to wait and see exactly how significant it is.
