Seattle's starter line has been increasing its ridership generally over 5% every month...not only without much density, but also with only one park-n-ride. Most systems have one or both of those things.

If the growth continues, it's on track to meet the original 1/1/11 (or thereabouts) projection of 26,000 passengers per day, even with less frequent service than originally planned, which is due to the difficulty of coexisting with buses in the Downtown Transit Tunnel. Last report was nearly 22,000.
