    Yeah but I don’t understand how it would combine with the 500 rides. Were they counting only people who rode 500 times a year? Or is the implication that for this line they didn’t go by 100000 people, but instead by 500 rides? That would make it incomparable. I just don’t get it

      Oh I had to go back to see what you were referring to with the 500 rides thing… Maybe that’s the sample size for NYC?
