Ridership on Link only knows how to increase (PDF):

[In July, Link] continued a very strong upward trend with a 14.2% increase in total boardings, and average weekday boardings stood at over 37,000; once again, setting a new monthly record.

In fact, at rush hour, and on Westlake Station's platform for southbound riders, there appears something right out of the future of this city. A city that is found nowhere else but here at this time. We see a whole crowd waiting for the train. And one is so excited to be a part of an actual crowd; but this enthusiasm turns to distress when one realizes that this crowd is in its infancy. It does not know how to confidently flow into a car and intelligently share a tight space. Seattle's crowd doesn't have a mind at present. Anyone who has been in the London Underground is soon aware of this mind—the way it waits, the way it swarms, the way it crams. This kind of mind has yet to arrive from our future.
