No it didn't. Ridership flatlined while the ridership of the rest of the system crashed. Hard.

Certainly shows the value of the metrorapid (at least in comparison to the status quo. The 2025 plan shows even more promise).
And that's _with_ the stupid massive price increases CapMetro foisted on us.
Combined corridors ridership pre-metrorapid (1L/1M/101/201/3):
fall 2012: 23068
fall 2013: 20900
notice ridership has crashed. hard. _BEFORE_ metrorapid even started running
combined corridors ridership after metrorapid (1/801/275/201/803/3):
fall 2014: 23305
fall 2015: 21640
That's as of fall 2015 (the last fall in that document). I believe there's been some slight decline since then, presumably attributable to continued fallout from price increases and gas price declines.
