I'm willing to admit my experience today probably won't be "typical", but I do think they've underestimated ridership quite seriously.
It is also my belief that they have somehow succeeded in making the ticketing machines "too complicated" and they shouldn't have to have 2 people being paid to stand by each machine telling people how to use it, like how to swipe your card in the proper way, wait for yellow light, and quickly pull. Some written instructions would have been helpful. Also, zones aren't easily explained.
I also think they underestimated how much space ginormous backpacks (you know the kind that all of those white people backpack with that you could stuff a child in) and luggage sets take up.
Each car may have a certain capacity of "people", but the baggage can cut that in half or more.
