Total Rail - 362,056 - Dec 2012 (for comparison sake, Dec 2011 was 294,082 and Dec 2010 was 270,199)
With the Expo Line Phase 2, Gold Line Foothill Extension, Crenshaw Line, Downtown Connector all under construction, i expect LA to break the 500,000 barrier by 2016

Only Expo II and Foothill will be done by 2016 and they won't generate enough ridership to reach the 500,000 threshold. If you added the other two, you would still come up short of the milestone.
I say 425,000-450,000 by 2016. Maybe 500,000 by 2020.
