So far, official estimates from D.C. Metro authority shows that crowds from the Women’s March in Washington are surpassing those at the inauguration Friday.

Based of estimates from Metro, ridership at 11 a.m. yesterday was at 193,000. Ridership on Saturday was at 275,000.

The events Saturday attracted large crowds and hundreds of thousands of women’s met to protest President Donald Trump’s victory.

Photos from suburban metro stops in D.C. showed long lines and big crowds. The pictures, of course, are just anecdotal, but reveal that the size of the protests against Donald Trump could rival the crowd supporting him Friday.
