"The Green Line's target ridership of 69,000 daily riders by 2020 is equivalent to three lanes of traffic on the Mercer Island Floating Bridge or a sellout crowd at Seahawks Stadium. It is an ambitious number, surpassing 15 of 19 light-rail systems in the country, as well as the 42,500 trips predicted for Sound Transit's initial light-rail line between downtown Seattle and Tukwila."
