WASHINGTON ― The Washington, D.C., metro system saw its second-busiest day ever Saturday when hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the Women’s March.

People took 1,001,613 rides Saturday, according to NBC4. For President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009, the metro system had its highest ridership, with 1.12 million trips.

The count was significantly lower on Friday, the day President Donald Trump held his inauguration festivities. There were approximately 600,000 trips that day.

On Saturday morning, people on social media posted reports of crowded metro stations as marchers tried to get downtown for the event.
