Not really. I suspect that what we saw during the opening week will be pretty normal, although with perhaps a very slight drop-off now that pleasure riders and rail fan tourists are over it. Anyone who had no plans to switch to public transit would have maybe taken one novelty trip, so the people you saw riding all week have probably always used it or were new riders who were just waiting for this to launch. It will only keep getting busier (in a positive way).

Since I asked this, I used it to get to work around 11 this morning, and it was a night vs day difference. Everyone on the train had a seat and no one was standing. Not sure what it was like during rush hour.
