ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

That's pretty close to the opening day ridership forecast (27,000).

Well above it seems, the 27k ridership forecast seems to include the Cambridge "BRT":

Worth noting that the 2009 models that Mike refers to here, would be based on the moderate growth seen in the late aughts, and neither the rapid growth in the early 10s nor the substantial decline in the late 10s.

Also, I don't think any ridership numbers are valuable during the free fare time. But it is interesting none the less...it's also interesting to see how crowded the trains were at only 27k riders per day...we will need new trains soon enough.
